Hello appreciated @abigail-dantes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge once again with us.
The advice of cultivating self-observation, and making the effort to develop cognitive flexibility is very valuable. Your examples remind us of the importance of being attentive to our style of thinking and those around us, since the criteria for a clinical diagnosis may not be met, but cognitive inflexibility may be dramatically affected by quality of life.
I am reflecting on this and the need to identify and break the cycle of rumination. And remember We all have capabilities to achieve progress with the help of others. Blessings.
