Exclusion
ОглавлениеThis is the habit of ignoring the positive aspects of something and only seeing the problems and disadvantages.
Use the next exercise to check out your own habits and then try to use the GEE strategy on a regular basis to help you spot the irrationality of your thinking when you or anyone else spots negativity in your attitude.
| Situation | Exclusively Negative Reaction | |
| A new boss | → | ‘I’ll have to explain the problem all over again’ (and not – ‘A fresh approach to the problem might be the answer.’) |
| A pregnancy | → | ‘Hello, morning sickness, disturbed nights, big bills’ (and not ‘Hello, excitement, fun and love!’) |
| Invitation to a party | → | ‘Another late night’ (and not ‘I could meet someone really interesting there.’) |
