When You Have a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (Part 2)

from The Writing Therapist: A Podcast for Writers · host Ashlyn Cramer

In Part 2 of what to do to get through a terrible, no good day, we go over how thoughts contribute to how we are feeling and how we see the world. We explore the top five patterns of twisted thinking (distorted ways of seeing the world that make you feel worse than you need to) and review some strategies and remedies for each one. Then we cover a few other thinking traps that can lead us to the bad place.We also explore self-care and how important it is to keep your life in balance, not just when you're going through a difficult time, but on a regular basis, so that you are being proactive and can keep future bad days from hitting as hard. Come along and listen so that you can learn how to break any harmful thinking habits, and how to take care of yourself, not only to help work through a crisis, but to make sure that your days going forward are just a little bit easier.Title Credit to: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith ViorstLet's Connect:Email: [email protected]: ashlyncramer.comInstagram: @ashlyncramerauthor @thewritingtherapistpodcastKey Words: Writing Podcast, Podcast for Writers, Self-Care for Writers, Coping Strategies for Writers, Writing Tips, Writing Strategies, The Writing Therapist
