This Will Destroy Your Day! - Domino Mindset

I'm a psychologist and here's something

your brain does that will destroy your

day if you don't spot it in therapy I

like to call it the Domino mindset let

me explain now every day you stack up

lots of these small actions and many of

those are things you can feel good about

for example you meet that deadline and

you remember your friend's birthday but

then one small thing goes wrong and in

your mind this happens

you instantly write off the whole day so

from this one small event you start to

tell yourself that you've achieved

nothing now I like to call this the

Domino mindset but it's a cognitive bias

also known as over generalizing and it's

something we all do but we tend to do

more of it when we're stressed or low in

mood but while you can't stop it from

happening

you can take the power out of it simply

by noticing those thoughts and labeling

them for what they are

biased
