    Study Notes

    Countering

    • Countering involves replacing distorted self-statements with truthful affirmations.
    • Example of a distorted belief: "I must be available to everyone or I'm unfair."
    • Corresponding countering statement: “I’m willing to help, but I don’t have the time.”

    Modeling

    • Modeling entails imitating individuals who exhibit desired behaviors.
    • Aligning thoughts and actions with role models can facilitate personal growth.
    • A teacher's example: "I’d be happy to help, but my schedule is full."

    Stretching

    • Stretching involves stepping outside comfort zones to explore new methods or ideas.
    • It should be a gradual process adopted in manageable stages.
    • Initially refuse smaller requests from acquaintances, progressing to friends to build confidence.
    • Sudden stretching may lead to feeling overwhelmed or negatively affecting relationships.

    Praying

    • Praying is a form of reflection or meditation that helps in understanding communication from a higher power.
    • It encourages openness to feedback and fosters humility for personal growth.
    • Instead of reacting defensively to criticism, prayer can provide the perspective to learn and improve.
