Minding Your Mind to Mend Your Body

An important stress management technique is cognitive restructuring. Cognitive restructuring (CR) means to change our mental, or cognitive, responses to stress. CR is based on the idea that we often respond to daily stressful events with a negative, distorted mental monologue. This monologue creates distressing emotions, moods, and feelings.

The Internal Monologue

When we are faced with stressful situations, our internal monologue is more likely to consist of negative distorted thoughts, called Negative Automatic Thoughts, or NATs. NATs are like knee-jerk reactions to stress that occur almost unconsciously. They often involve worst-case scenarios, jumping to conclusions, “awfulizing”, and “catastrophizing”. They seem so real that we don’t stop to question or examine them. Consequently, NATs can cause us to: lose perspective and cognitive flexibility, get locked into one-track thinking, accentuate the negative, and view stressful situations in an inaccurate, distorted fashion. When the negative monologue occurs too frequently or intensely in response to stress, unhealthy negative emotions like anxiety or anger can result. These emotions elicit stress responses that compromise our psychological and physical health and our sleep.

Minding the Mind

We often can’t change the situations that cause stress but we can change our emotional responses to stress using CR. This technique involves learning to recognize, challenge, and change NATs so that we can turn off negative emotions and stress responses more easily.

CR works in three ways: by reducing the frequency and intensity of negative emotional reactions, turning off the reactions more rapidly, and preventing them from occurring in the future. Let’s take a closer look at how to practice CR.

Eavesdropping on the Internal Monologue

The first step in CR is to become more aware of your thoughts and feelings that occur in response to stressful situations. The most difficult part of this step is recognizing NATs for they are so automatic. The most effective way to recognize NATs is to track, in writing, the feelings and NATs that accompany stressful situations. This will enable you to become more aware of the kinds of negative feelings that you experience most often; under what circumstances they occur; and, most importantly, the NATs in the periphery of your awareness that trigger the feelings. Each day, choose one or two stressful situations that triggered negative emotions, then record the NATs that filtered through your mind in anticipation of the situation, during the situation, or after the situation. Ask yourself, “What were my thoughts and what was I saying to myself about the situation that contributed to my feelings of stress?” By recording these thoughts on a regular basis, you will become more aware of the situations that cause you distress, the emotions that you typically experience in response to stress, and the kinds of NATs that you experience most often.

Methods for Reframing the Negative Monologue

After learning to become aware of NATs and the feelings they trigger, the next step in CR is to reframe NATs by writing down more accurate, adaptive thoughts about stressful situations, called “Reframed Thoughts”.

You can reframe NATs by asking yourself the following ten key questions:

1. Is this thought really true?
2. Am I overemphasizing a negative aspect of this situation?
3. What is the worst thing that could happen?
4. Is there anything that might be positive about this situation?
5. Am I catastrophizing, “awfulizing”, jumping to conclusions, and assuming a negative outcome?
6. How do I know this situation will turn out this way?
7. Is there another way to look at this situation?
8. What difference will this make next week, month, or year?
9. If I had one month to live, how important would this be?
10. Am I using words like “never”, “always”, “worst”, “terrible”, or “horrible” to describe the situation?

Because NATs are so automatic and habitual, the CR takes some time to learn. But, with practice, you can learn to use CR to turn off the negative stress filter, catch and reframe NATs, and develop a greater sense of control over your mental responses to stress.”

to explain Cognitive Restructuring and how it can be used to manage Negative Automatic Thoughts. Cognitive restructuring, also known as reframing is the practice of changing one’s perspective of a situation. Share an example of when you may have been consumed with negative thoughts. Were you able to use reframing to get yourself back on track? If not, thinking back on the situation, what reframing could you have done at the time to defeat the negative thoughts/beliefs and to change your perspective on the situation.

Refer back to this article https://www.healthline.com/health/cognitive-distor… to help you explain which of the 10 common distorted thinking patterns your example fits into and why:

• Polarized thinking
• Overgeneralization
• Catastrophizing
• Personalization
• Mind reading
• Mental filtering
• Discounting the positive
• Emotional reasoning
• “Should” statements
• Labeling

What are 3 types of assessments and the purpose of each?

Classroom assessment is the collection, evaluation, and use of information to help teachers make decisions that improve student learning. Measurement is the process used to obtain data concerning student learning. Evaluation is the process of making a value judgment about student learning based on the data. (Burden & Byrd, 2019, p. 315)Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: What are 3 types of assessments and the purpose of each? Provide an example of each. Why is it important to have a variety of assessment measures when evaluating student learning? What are the benefits and challenges to using products and performance to assess student learning?

How does the poet connect with our exploration of the triple bind associated with the challenge of Asian identity?

Identity is the cornerstone of who we are and who we may become. For the Asian immigrant, the difficult journey of maintaining a strong identity that encompasses both the East and West is the key challenge. This unique and tricky hurdle is compounded by the problem that no matter how well they overcome this obstacle (without fully assimilating and losing identity) because of the way they look, they will never be given full acceptance. This three-pronged problem is called “the triple bind” (de Manuel & Davis, 2006, pp.143-144).

“Asian American children are…caught in a triple bind: pressured to remain faithful to ancestral heritage, while at the same time admonished to assimilate and become fully American, but ultimately finding that because of their Asian genes, many Americans will never give the full acceptance” (de Manuel & Davis, 2006, pp. 143-144).

Fostering a new identity as an American citizen can come with a serious cost – losing one’s ancestral heritage, otherwise known as assimilation. More than any other culture we have studied thus far in this class, Asian’s are faced with a tug of war between two completely opposed value systems – The East versus The West. On the one hand, the Asian child (or adult) faces the almost impossible task of fusing both of these diametrically opposing viewpoints together – remaining faithful to the Eastern value of maintaining cooperation and harmony with others versus the pressure to become the’ good’ American who has assimilated to the Western value of rugged individualism and capitalism. Plainly put, the ways of the West are “I’ll get Mine and You get Yours!” This push and pull between the extremes ask the Asian child this question “Who am I?”
