Deep dives

Challenging Thought Validity

Our thoughts may not be inherently true, and challenging their accuracy can shift how we perceive them. By questioning the assumption that our thoughts are accurate, we open ourselves to the possibility that they may not hold inherent truth. This perspective allows us to engage in a more critical evaluation of our thoughts, considering each one as potentially untrue or misleading. By reframing our relationship with our thoughts in this way, we can approach them with curiosity rather than blind acceptance, ultimately empowering us to navigate our cognitive processes more effectively.
