    Exaggerating ideas and thoughts to express how we feel is part of our culture. Sentences such as “Life is so hard” or “I have the hardest job in the world” are expressed often without giving them a second thought. What we may not realize is that those seemingly harmless utterances can have us down-spiral into a web of negativity.

    When we think the same thoughts repeatedly, and then verbalize them, the truer they seem to us, and the more evidence we find to continue believing them. Embellishing these thoughts– by adding great adjectives to a story, speculation, etc. around it– can heighten the feeling we experience, thus creating a loop of misery.

    This is perfectly fine to do if you’re the type of person that needs to verbally process your feelings, or “think out loud”. We do, however, need to keep in mind only the facts of the situation and have the awareness that at any point we want we can decide to shift into thoughts that do serve us.
