Five Questions for Challenging Mistaken Beliefs

Found this very helpful this week, so I thought I'd pass it along.

1. What is the evidence for this belief? Looking objectively at all of your life experience, what is the evidence that this is true.

2. Does this belief invariably or always hold true for you?

3. Does this belief look at the whole picture? Does it take into account both positive and negative ramifications?

4. Does this promote your well-being and/or peace of mind?

5. Did you choose this belief on your own or did it develop out of your own experience of growing up in your family?
