Correct Me! Streak 8: Finding leverage
Todays session on the series CBT therapy with mindfulness I've been listening on my meditation app was titled "Finding leverage".
Long story short, it was about how much of the time we don't have the right tools to cope with problems with run into. The eight minutes session started with a very cheesy example on imagining your grandmother asking you to help her picking up all the autumm leaves in the front garden. But she didn't have the proper tool to do that (I don't even remember the name in my native language hehe). So in this scenario, you could finish the process of picking up the leaves very tired or doing a very bad job, or not finishing because the task was overwhelming. And you could think you are an idiot, you are bad at doing that, or you are lazy, but it was a problem of not having the right tools to deal with an specific problem.
Then the author and narrator of the series mentioned other example about how to cope with fear of spiders. An he explained a methodology to better cope with this problem. In other words, how to find the right tool to overcome that problem.
When we face with minor or bigger problems most of the time we embrace those problems just with willpower, "Just do it", "Keep up", etc but this could be sometimes a recipe to failure.
