MY MISBELIEFS OF MY ACTIVATING EVENT

While in class those are the misbeliefs according th Ellis that I experienced, and I believe that finding alternatives to those will most likely help me in order to become more competent emotionally as a teacher:

Irrational Idea No. 1: The idea that it si a dire necessity for an adult human being to be loved or approved by virtually every significant other person in his community.

If you try too hard to be loved or approved, people will soon tire of your constant sycophancy, and they will not respect you.

Irrational Idea No. 4: The idea that it is awful and catastrophic when things are not the way one would very much like them to be.

When things are not to your liking, and you can't change them, you can tell yourself, " I wish they were different, but its's not the end of the world, and it won't kill me if I have to keep putting up with them," Then try to learn from them, accept them as challenges, and see if there is someway you can use them in your life. If that doesn't work, do your best to ignore them and do something else you enjoy doing.
