Identifying "'Stinkin Thinkin'" #4

Discounting the Positive

Rejecting positive experiences by insisting that they “don’t count”.  Having thoughts that say “it wasn’t good enough” or that “anyone could have done as good” when you clearly did a good job - these are examples of discounting the positive.  Discounting steals the positives and rips the joy out of life making you feel inadequate and unrewarded.
