The Smarter Thinking Process

  •  

    Recognise

    The recognise step is the first step to becoming a Smarter Thinker. Here you will gain a deeper understanding of how your thoughts and beliefs are influencing your emotions, behaviors, and performance. Fundamentally, this is about realising that it is not the situation that causes unhelpful reactions, it is your view of the situation that leads to unhelpful reactions. Further, there are specific thoughts and beliefs that are particularly problematic.

  •  

    Reappraise

    The reappraise step is the second step to becoming a Smarter Thinker. Here, you will learn how to challenge your current problematic thoughts and beliefs. Specifically, you will go through a rigorous process of testing your thoughts and beliefs on evidential, logical, and pragmatic grounds. This is very challenging, but is a highly valuable and powerful process of belief change.

  •  

    Replace

    The replace step is the third step to becoming a Smarter Thinker. Now, you develop new and effective thoughts and beliefs in place of the old and ineffective ones that you challenged in step 2. The key here is to develop strong new beliefs based on evidence, logic, and pragmatics. This is a very creative process that gives you the chance to take charge of your reactions to adverse situations.

  •  

    Reinforce

    The reinforce step is the fourth step to becoming a Smarter Thinker. At this point, you fully commit to the new thoughts and beliefs you have developed at step 3. Real long-term change is about imbedding your effective thoughts and beliefs into your philosophy of life. This takes time, but with some guidance, you can approach, and react to, tough situations in the most effective way.
