My own experiences with catastrophic thinking and how I cope with it. I give specific examples of how I have thought this way, and I also noticed a pattern when searching for remedies; same remedies for different situations.

My opinions about how to be less impulsive and increase our forethought. I give a few examples of how bad I used to be about problem solving, strategy and planning ahead. This can get better over time.

Helped support a local charity today, giving back to others in a specific way. It really helped me realize how to brighten someone's day with such simple things. I was also reminded of things that I had forgotten that I tend to take for granted and they've helped me more than I had remembered.

I share a tip about a reminder, we could have in our home, to help if you struggle with a distracted mind in the evenings. I'm going to try it out this coming week and will report back.

I give examples of what I did wrong, after I woke up to the reality of how bad my trauma really was growing up; I call this waking up "The Event". I provide tips on how to reverse that reactionary approach and engage in a healthy approach.

Results from my past 7 days of journaling what the most overwhelming feelings popped up most often. The main thing was situations where other people's behavior didn't make sense to me, and I would end up being hard on myself. I realized the remedies in how to address this moving forward, which are empathy and being a better listener.

Profound way of looking at life that I heard about yesterday and today. Learned how to live in the moment and bond with people by using gratitude. I explain how to do this with people who you don't like too, and it may not be what you think.

Do you receive condescending feedback? I explain why the stress/anxiety you feel around someone (which leads to an unfocused mind) can lead to putting your foot in your mouth and feeling like an idiot. This can result in condescending feedback. It's not your fault, but good to know where it comes from and how to build your ability to focus.

How solving issues from a short-term thinking (impulsive) mindset has led me into current positions in my life (along with the feelings that come with it). Important to remind myself how that isn't a bad thing, and once I figured out how it began I realized the long-term solution to it.

Update related to finding answers to questions and how important it is to find the right person to talk to. I also share some new things I learned and the importance of engaging with your interests, especially if you grew up in an emotionally toxic home.
