If you are getting caught up in problematic thoughts that are not making you feel good, try asking yourself one or more of Dr Russ Harris's suggestions (from his book "The Happiness Trap").
- Is this thought useful or helpful?
- Is this an old thought?
- Have I heard this one before?
- Do I gain anything useful from listening to it again?
- Does this thought help me take effective action to improve my life?
- What would I get for believing this thought?
