Thinking this way can make you even more anxious
from The SUSANNE MCALLISTER Podcast Hosted by Susanne McAllister Wellness
Discounting positives is similar to mental filtering. It means we are just letting some things through and I don’t mean the positives. You are totally spot on if you think that this can be really detrimental for anyone suffering from anxiety. It can lead to more anxiety, depression, and actually feeling unable to even give something a try at all. Discounting the positive is a habitual way of disregarding our successes and strengths while focusing instead on what we consider to be our weaknesses and our failures. In our minds, if something isn’t perfect it is, by default, flawed. Since perfection rarely, if ever, exists in our world, pretty much everything is considered a failure or flawed in some way.
