👉 Wait till the end for how to beat it. This is something we all do. When did it last come up for you? Did you notice that it left you feeling defeated, hopeless and tempted to give up? The Domino Mindset will do that to you. This one single event suddenly seems to represent both your past and future. “Everything goes wrong for me. I’m always going to be a loser. I don’t know why I bother.” Statements like this sound like a domino mindset. It’s a cognitive bias that most clinicians call overgeneralisation. It’s when you take one single event and use it to judge past events or predict the future. You draw conclusions on things that are not necessarily justified by the event that just happened. But if you don’t notice the implicit bias in those thoughts, they will bring on a whole host of pain and struggle. But the good news is that simply spotting when your thoughts might be biased helps to take some of the power out of them. It enables you to be open to considering a different way of looking at things.
