How to avoid emotional reasoning
The process involves challenging your emotional beliefs so that automatic thoughts are interrogated before being accepted.
- Practice validity testing. If you feel sure that your work has not been of the expected standard, you must search for objective evidence to prove that this belief is true.
- Write in a journal. Journaling is a great way to pay attention to your thought patterns.
- Discuss your emotions. If you feel anxious about work, you may struggle to accurately assess your performance. Talking to a trusted colleague or friend about your concerns could give you a much-needed objective view.
