Ep 51: Are we catastrophisers? (being our own worst critics)
Have you ever had moments where you think back and you feel like you’ve over catastrophized the situation? Or you lashed out on someone at the spur of the moment then thought to yourself that you’re an idiot for replying so aggressively?
We’ve had plenty of those moments in our lives too. Sometimes the moments in our head can feel a lot more intense than the real situation. Along with that, just over catastrophizing a thought or a moment before it happens is also really common.
This was something that was embedded in our natural instinct to survive. Apparently our brains are hard wired to focus on the bad. Did you know that catastrophizing is actually really common and up to 70% of our thoughts are negative? How crazy is that?!
Let us know, when was the last time you over catastrophised a moment that really wasn’t as bad as you initially thought it was.
