Activating event  à Which triggers…

Beliefs à Which leads to…

Consequences/Actions

Retrace what has happened and sort through the beliefs that have lead you to the actions you’ve taken so far. Often our erroneous beliefs take us down a path of behaviors and actions that have contributed to the problem(s) we find ourselves facing.

 

 

Now, substitute more effective beliefs about what’s going on

and take one step toward changing your actions in this situation, based on these new beliefs.

Here's a terrific worksheet to help you with this process:
