    Challenging Thoughts

    1. What facts support this thought? What existing evidence contradicts it?
    2. What would the worst possible outcome be, if this thought were true?
    3. Am I using a past experience to overgeneralize?
    4. Is there any way I might view this in a positive way?
    5. Will this matter one day from now? What about in one week, or month? How?
    6. What are some ways I’ve dealt with this scenario before?
    7. What advice would my counselor or therapist give about this situation?
    8. What am I ready to accept about this event or person?
    9. Are my thoughts helping me deal with this scenario? Or are they aggravating the situation?
    10. Can I genuinely control this?
    11. Besides myself, what else might be affecting this situation?
    12. Am I using “I must,” “I have to,” or “I should” thinking here? Is it truly necessary?
