Five Major Psychological Stumbling Blocks

Five Major Psychological Stumbling Blocks

That can really mess up your life.

1. Don't guess, follow and implement random information that may or may not help you manage your unique brain

Instead: Know and understand how brains work - and specifically, how yours works.

2. Don't fight or struggle endlessly with your thoughts and feelings

Instead: Learn how to manage and change your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

3. Don’t just read, research and listen to various fx-it skills, tools and strategies.

Instead: Choose appropriate skills, tools, and strategies for your brain and then PRACTICE them.

4. Don't fight battles you can't win or that are outside your control.

Instead: Learn how to be flexible and adaptable in your thinking.

5. Don't run away from mistakes, failures and disappointments.

Instead: Practice self-compassion so you can get up and start again.
