Polarised Thinking

& Mental Health
When under stress, it's common for our minds to gravitate towards extremes - otherwise known as thought polarisation or black-and-white thinking.
Our minds, by default, tend to be reactive, judgmental, and critical - especially towards ourselves. This negative loop can be relentless and exhausting.
Yet amidst this chaos, there exists a part of our minds that is reflective, considerate, and understanding. It's the part that challenges assumptions, remains curious about alternatives, dislikes change but sees opportunity in it nonetheless.
While one side catastrophises every situation, the other seeks clarification and balance.To navigate through this mental tug-of-war effectively, it's crucial to cultivate self-assertiveness and self-assurance.
By acknowledging both aspects of our psyche - the critical and the compassionate - we can strive for a more balanced approach to our thoughts and actions.

Human connections are deeply nurtured in the field of a shared story - Jean Houston
Understanding why our minds polarise plays a crucial role in building resilience in challenging times. Learning how to reframe extreme thought patterns can provide valuable insights into managing anxiety, depression, and overwhelm.
A 4-step cycle to help prioritise mental health & self-care. Struggle to take action or maintain momentum? Experience difficulty making decisions? Trouble prioritising tasks and or keeping to a daily routine? Not sure what you need or have trouble asking for what you need? Little or no time for self-care?
Do you commit to making a change to something in your life only to lose momentum or interest shortly after? Our brain is hardwired to set unrealistic expectations, requiring minimal effort whilst anticipating quick results. When we fail to reach a goal, the brain reaffirms lasting change is unachievable. Learning why our brain is hardwired towards unrealistic extremes can transform our view on goal setting.
The 4 Buddies represent characters within us that work as an internal team of helpers. These four buddies help us work with the critical, judgemental, fearful, and anxious parts of ourselves. The 4 Buddies incorporate the Observer, Confidant, Coach & Sage. These components are naturally within all of us. However, fear, worry & anxiety often bury or suppress these helpers.
A deeper dive into the following questions for the Mind Symmetry Technique: Have I understood and validated my feelings? What’s the main story, narrative or theme? Who’s talking - Who in our past held a similar commentary? Have I identified facts from potential stories/theories? What further information/clarification do I need? Have I explored my expectations? Are my hopes/expectations realistic/focused? Can I identify clear/definable boundaries? Is there a sense of needing to control the outcome?

Change the way you feel, by changing the way you think! - Christine Pedesky
Personal awareness sets the occasional narcissistic behaviour apart from persistent narcissism —the willingness to take responsibility for these traits within our psyche is crucial.
