Your fourth misbelief may be linked with the cognitive distortion
called “ negativism” : wrong things are blown up and one tends
not to notice or to undervalue the positive things about a situation or about
oneself.
To fight this tendency you can try to make a list of
positive sides of yourself and of your perfomance as a teacher. Try to calculate
the real percentage of both negative and positive aspects.
You can make a grafic of the results. How many positive
things can you list? Are they more or less than negatives?
You may be distorting your thought by personalizing the behaviours of your pupils. By personalizing we
tend to think that what people do or say has to do with ourselves for better or
for worse. The best way against this consists in proving if the other´s
behaviours has to do with us. You should not to draw conclusions unless you
do not have clear evidences and reasonable proves.
By filtering you
might be distorting your thought about your performance as a teacher by taking
only the negative details and by magnifying them instead of focusing on the
positives aspects of you. Do not forget
that by filtering world takes exactly the shape that we fear of!!
Can you focus on the positive things your children are
giving you and that support your feelings or being loved, valued and useful ?
