Catch it, check it, change it

Following on from the last post, I found an excellent programme from BBC Radio 4′s ‘All in the Mind’ series here. You can listen to it via BBC iPlayer, or download it as an MP3 file.
There’s also a link there to a stress questionnaire. If you’d like to contribute to research on the nation’s mental health, you can complete it and get personalised feedback and tips on managing stress.
One of the most useful things from the programme was the phrase ‘Catch it, check it, change it’. That snappy little sentence helps us remember to catch our stressful thoughts as they pop into our minds, question their validity and change our thinking. It’s mindfulness in a nutshell.
