Saturday challenge 🧠

Catch one negative thought today.

Write it down. Then ask: Is this 100% true?

Reframe it into something more rational.

Comment “✅” if you try it.

Next time your brain says something unhelpful, ask:

1️⃣ What’s the evidence FOR this thought?
2️⃣ What’s the evidence AGAINST it?
3️⃣ Am I missing information?
4️⃣ If I look at this positively, what changes?
5️⃣ Will this matter in a year? 5 years?
6️⃣ What would I say to a friend in this situation?

Save this. Use it. It works.

You're on the job. You ask a coworker for a hand lifting something or spotting you. They say: "Can't right now, man. Sorry."

❌ Negative thought: "They think I'm weak. Nobody's got my back here."
→ hurt, resentful → struggle through it alone, stop asking anyone for help → risk injury, feel isolated

✅ Rational thought: "They're just in the middle of something. I'll catch them in a few minutes or ask someone else."
→ disappointed but unfazed → finds another person or waits → stays safe, keeps respect intact

Your turn: What's YOUR rational thought in this situation? 👇

You send a thoughtful text. They "leave you on read".

😞 Jordan: “They’re mad at me. I always mess things up.”
→ anxious, sad → over-apologizes or shuts down → friendship gets awkward

💪 Taylor: “They’re probably just busy or distracted.”
→ mildly annoyed but calm → gives space, sends a casual follow-up later → friendship stays fine

Same event. Different thought map. Different life.

What is CBT, really?

CBT = Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Fancy name, simple idea:

👉 Your thoughts → Your feelings + actions

Change the thought. Change the outcome.

Not toxic positivity. Just reality-checking your own brain.

Saturday challenge 💪

Next time you feel a strong emotion, pause and ask:

1️⃣ What just happened? (event)
2️⃣ What did I tell myself? (thought)
3️⃣ What did I do or feel next?

Drop a 🔁 if you’ll try it today. Or just DM "I Wanna Think!" for a worksheet to help you remember the questions 😎

05/15/2026

Feelings don’t run the show — but they do tell you something important.

Sadness, anger, fear: they’re like dashboard lights.

Look inside (thoughts) before you react.
