CBT aka mindfulness these is just good tool to have overall.
I have had my share of bad experiences at my job from automaticity and adaptive, impulsive response. Here is what I learnt from being mindful:
1. When faced with making a choice, you remember more vividly how the bad choice hurt you last time.
2. Put it another way, that promise I made to myself after that big mistake is harder to break. Pertinently, the reasons that justified the promise and the benefit of keeping it are also more lucent.
3. I tend to separate/check my emotional responses connected to a thought connected to bad memories.
I could preach shorter sermons, but once I start I am too lazy to stop...
- charlieflowers 9y agoI was going to challenge you on saying that CBT is the same thing as mindfulness. Then I thought about it, and I think this is pretty insightful. CBT says there's a split second after the stimulus where you get to choose how you will think about the stimulus. That's an awful lot like mindfulness, at least from a big picture standpoint.
