WEEKEND LEARNING
Rewire Your Mind: 5 CBT Techniques That Can Transform Your Life in a Week

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is all about training your brain to think and act in ways that support better mental health. By making small, intentional shifts in how you process thoughts and feelings, you can notice big changes—sometimes in just seven days. Below are five tried-and-tested CBT techniques you can start practicing right now.

1. Thought Records
   One of the cornerstones of CBT is learning to catch and challenge negative thoughts. Start by jotting down your unhelpful thoughts (e.g., “I always mess up”). Then, look for evidence for and against these thoughts. Often, you’ll find the negative assumption is exaggerated or untrue, which helps you see situations more clearly.

2. Cognitive Restructuring
   Once you’ve spotted a negative thought pattern, the next step is to replace it with a more balanced perspective. For instance, if you catch yourself thinking, “I’m not good enough,” reframe it to: “I have strengths and weaknesses like everyone else, and I can improve by practicing.” This switch may feel awkward at first but gets easier with repetition.

3. Behavioral Activation
   Feeling stuck or unmotivated? Identify small, enjoyable tasks you can add to your day—like taking a 10-minute walk, cooking a favorite meal, or texting a friend. This simple strategy breaks the cycle of low mood and inactivity by reintroducing pleasure and purpose into your routine.

4. Progressive Muscle Relaxation
   Stress can cause physical tension without you even realizing it. Take a few minutes each day to systematically tense and then relax different muscle groups—from your toes up to your shoulders. This reduces tension and trains your body to respond to stress in a calmer way.

5. Goal-Focused Planning
   Pick a small goal—one that can be achieved in a week—to give yourself a sense of accomplishment. Write down clear, measurable steps to reach it. As you check off each step, you’ll build self-confidence and gather evidence that you can handle challenges more effectively than you might think.

By practicing these five CBT techniques daily, you’ll develop a more resilient mindset. Remember that progress often starts with small but consistent steps. In just a week, you could be looking at life with a healthier, more empowering perspective.
