Power Thinking

Instructions: use lines and shapes to represent positive thoughts and healthy thinking (for example, being flexible, accepting change, being patient, taking one day at a time, accepting oneself, not filtering or catastrophizing, etc.).

Discussion: share your shapes and their “thinking strength.” Explore the importance of strengthening thinking in order to increase self-esteem, vigor, motivation, and hope.

 

 

 

 

You've got your dark line as a symbol of negative thinking and confusion and your yellow wheel as a symbol of how good it feels to identify errors in your thinking and correct them. Doing some virtual CBT has helped me become a more rational human being and realize thoughts are just thoughts, they don't make me who I am, although they hold a great power over my behaviour should they not be kept on a leash.
