In this episode of the M3 podcast, I share my personal journey of identifying and combating negative thought patterns. I discuss my recent breakthrough in positive self-talk and introduce the concept of cognitive distortions—irrational thought patterns that can lead to negative emotions and behaviors. I highlight 15 common cognitive distortions, such as polarized thinking, overgeneralization, and emotional reasoning, providing definitions, examples, and practical advice on how to recognize and address them. I emphasize the importance of positive thinking and self-awareness in overcoming these mental challenges. I also share my own experiences with mental health conditions, including bipolar disorder, anxiety, OCPD, and PTSD, and encourage listeners to practice self-compassion and continuous personal growth.
