Become aware of events which prompt a negative reaction \n (confusion, defensiveness, resistance, perfectionism, or discouragement). You will typically \n recognize a past pattern that serves as a sign that a reaction might reoccur. \n Be on the alert for your “early warning” signs. The quicker you recognize a reaction in \n progress, the easier it is to circumvent. Your body usually provides a signal that the fears have \n become agitated, often with emotional symptoms of anxiety, feeling tense, flushed, agitated, \n and confused, or possibly physical symptoms such as tightness in the neck, stomach, or \n shoulders. \n Ask yourself this question: “What in this situation is causing me to sense my irrational fear \n (e.g., rejection, insignificance, or hurt)?” Asking this introduces a rational, conscious question \n into an irrational, unconscious fear reaction. It is sometimes difficult to recognize who or what \n is causing the fear to become agitated. It helps to consider, “who is the audience here?” In \n other words, who am I most afraid of disappointing or getting hurt by? By simply posing the \n question, the fear usually lessens or disappears and your normal, high-performing response \n mode takes over. \n Gain perspective of the situation. Ask the follow-up question, “How big a deal is this?” or \n “What’s the worst that could happen here?” or “Will this still be important five years from now?” \n These types of question help lessen the effect of your faulty beliefs by providing perspective on \n the situation. \n Reinforce your healthy beliefs. Remind yourself what you truly believe as a rational adult in \n a given situation. Speak your new, healthy beliefs to yourself to counterbalance the \n compounded impact of reacting out of your faulty, habitual beliefs.","bbox":{"left":0.117647,"top":0.3575,"width":0.822973,"height":0.38680300000000006}},{"text":"•","bbox":{"left":0.088235,"top":0.413341,"width":0.007530999999999996,"height":0.015498999999999985}},{"text":"•","bbox":{"left":0.088235,"top":0.500462,"width":0.007530999999999996,"height":0.01549900000000004}},{"text":"•","bbox":{"left":0.088235,"top":0.622432,"width":0.007530999999999996,"height":0.01549900000000004}},{"text":"•","bbox":{"left":0.088235,"top":0.692129,"width":0.007530999999999996,"height":0.01549900000000004}},{"text":"This approach is not built on stuffing feelings, stifling your reactions, or speaking affirmations in the \n hope of developing new behaviors.
