There are several flawed modes of thinking that
fuel stress and anxiety. All or nothing thinking, thinking in
terms of black and white or thinking in absolute terms is one of
them. Learning how to avoid thinking in absolute terms is a
crucial part of stress and anxiety management.
Thinking in absolute terms leads to assigning exaggerated
meanings to events. So, when a good event happens, we can
exaggerate the good - "wow, that was totally fantastic". When a
bad event happens, again, the meaning assigned is exaggerated -
"I'm absolutely useless, I always get it wrong".
When a good event happens, you feel elated, overjoyed but when a
bad event happens, assigning exaggerated meanings in this way is
very harmful.
Assigning absolute meanings to these events stirs powerful
emotions within you. This is because you are entering the
fight-or-flight response that occurs when we are frightened for
our lives and a decision has to be taken very quickly.
One of the situations that can make us fearful is uncertainty.
We like to know we're secure. When we feel secure, we feel safe,
we know where we are and we know we'll survive. In this
condition, fear is absent.
When we are under stress, or suffering from related conditions
such as depression or anxiety, handling uncertainty is very
difficult. Because when we are confronted with events, we have
to assign a meaning to them. It's how we make sense of our
lives.
During episodes of
stress,
depression and anxiety, we're in this fight-or-flee state
and therefore, we cannot handle uncertainty. So we assign
meanings to events very quickly. This leads to erroneous
judgment, and the stress loop continues.
The key stress and anxiety management skill to develop is
the ability to assign multiple explanations to events. When we
are stressed and in a high state of emotional stimulation, we
will assign the worst possible meaning to events and act upon
that one meaning. And once we've made the decision, we will be
absolutely sure it is correct and nothing will change our minds.
So instead of thinking in absolute terms, especially assigning
exaggerated bad meanings to events, you think in more general
terms. This brings in other possibilities, it takes away the
single bad outcome all-or-nothing meaning and you will feel
calmer instead of arousing the fear response. It is one of the
most powerful stress and anxiety management skills you
can possess.
