Are you a Drama Queen ?

– this post goes out to everyone who indulges in a bit of drama…So, as the picture in this post suggests, we’re talking about making a mountain out of a molehill. Hands up if that’s you!
It involves magnifying a perceived threat or worry so that it seems bigger and more dramatic than it really is. It is therefore pretty straightforward to see how catastrophic thinking is linked to depression, anxiety and stress (and not a lot of people know that)Catastrophic thoughts about Christmas and the New Year would include:
2021 will be a complete disaster I look hideous in this outfit My house is so messy!, it’s total chaos I’ve completely blown my diet filling my face with those chocolatesEtc, etc.
Although it is damaging to think in such an over-dramatic way, it is fairly easy to change with a little effort and practice.
At home, this week, why not start to be more aware of the words you are using and whenever you notice that you are using catastrophic language, amend it and use something more appropriate. Do this consistently and you will find you will create much calmer experience for yourself
