In this video, we’re discussing thinking traps – those unhelpful negative thinking habits that can really impact how we’re feeling. In CBT we often look at the links between our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and behaviours. In this video we look at how the thoughts we experience can have a powerful impact on us and how to be more aware of unhelpful negative thought when they crop up.

Setting goals can help us to work towards change in line with our values which can often seem overwhelming. One way of achieving this is to set ourselves SMART Goals. Goals can apply to different areas of our lives. Setting goals can help us to manage our well-being, sometimes we can have long-term goals such as booking a holiday or changing our career. Often to achieve these goals we need to set smaller goals such as writing a CV or booking a visit to the travel agent. Watch our video to find out more about what SMART Goals are and how setting them up can help with your well-being.
