00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,640
Before Wendy gave her last presentation, she reviewed the sheet she had filled out.

2
00:00:05,910 --> 00:00:11,820
She reminded herself of her alternative core belief and vibrational responses to her negative automatic

3
00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:18,120
thoughts, Bozie after each one to give herself a moment to connect with these accurate observations

4
00:00:18,660 --> 00:00:20,410
as she started to present.

5
00:00:20,430 --> 00:00:27,240
She focused on the blast column that she gives a strong, informative presentations that people enjoy.

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:33,690
She also reminded herself not to buy into her core belief if it reared its head.

00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:39,750
You can use the form that Wendy used to practice thought patterns that serve you well.

8
00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:45,300
Keep in mind that you will be crafting much more than generic positive affirmations.

9
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:52,620
You will be generating thoughts specifically tailored to the problematic patterns that have plagued

10
00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:52,800
you.

11
00:00:57,350 --> 00:01:03,320
It's especially hard to come up with evidence that contradicts our negative core belief when we most

12
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:10,220
needed, when our negative beliefs are activated and we are being bombarded with negative automatic

13
00:01:10,220 --> 00:01:10,640
thoughts.

14
00:01:11,180 --> 00:01:17,750
For this reason, it's important to write down the plan for dealing with your anticipated thoughts.

15
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:27,080
It may be most convenient to write your plan on an index card before you enter a challenging situation.

16
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:34,460
Review the evidence for the moralistic belief you can't even rehearse these more accurate ways of thinking

17
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:42,560
when you wake up in the morning and when you lie down to sleep at night, two occasions when our minds

18
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,960
can double our negative automatic thoughts.

19
00:01:46,580 --> 00:01:53,000
This proactive approach is an alternative to always playing defense and can be an effective means of

20
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,470
chipping away at core beliefs rather than reinforcing them.
