Understanding the difference can help people of every age.

Topic: Negative Self-Talk and Cognitive Distortions
Three Minute Mental Health Check-In with Rianna Liebenguth and Bryan Kiggins
Instructions:
1. Identify the negative thought. Use the list of cognitive distortions to identify your most common negative thought patterns.
2. Use a post-it note to write the thoughts on one side.
3. Identify a corresponding compassionate thought. Maybe think of what you would say to a friend who was having the negative thought.
4. Write the compassionate thought on the other side of post-it.
5. Tape or stick the compassionate (reframed) thoughts where you need to see them most, by your bed, in the bathroom, in your car, on your math book!
