Module 4
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN TO TRY!
To get started:
Think about something you are avoiding .
What is the worst that could happen if you try the activity/situation you’ve been avoiding?
Next, test this thought in an experiment like the ones you’ve just read about.
Have a go of designing an experiment now to test your thought!
Tip: It doesn’t have to be too detailed, just give it a go.
| 1) My thought (be as specific as possible and rate how strong your thoughts and feelings are from 0 to 10): |
| 2) Experiment: |
| 3) Results: |
| 4) What I've learned: |
| 5) My new thought (e.g., rate how strong your new thoughts and feelings are from 0 to 10): |
What did you find out?
Did you find that what you had predicted didn’t turn out to be the case?
Did you find that even if it did come true, it was not as bad as you expected?
Download this sheet and keep trying different experiments.
The more experiments you try, the more flexible your thinking will become.
Generalise the learning from your experiments by doing 1-2 each week.
