Are you plagued by negative thinking? This week on WellCast, we're talking about automatic thoughts-those destructive worries that creep into your mind and escalate without reason, like "I'm not going to graduate," or "I'm going to get evicted." These thoughts are actually pretty harmful to your health, but never fear! We've got an exercise that will help you to start replacing those thoughts with healthy, calm, rational ones in no time!

This is wonderful! I'm a cognitive therapist at a substance abuse clinic and I will definitely share this with clients. Thank you!!!!
This week I started to become very anxious, and it was quite a shock for me to go in and out of stress so quickly because I am generally an optimist. So I was looking through a few of the wellcast videos to help inspire me, and I especially really needed a video like this, as I was having ATs. And it really helped.
Thank you. In times of need, you give your viewers inspiration and very useful tips on how to make our lives better and for us to feel better.
This channel is so amazing. I know it will change my life. In fact, I'll make my journal now.
I think it is neat that people will go out of their way to help with all kinds of behavior issues. Thank you for this!
This channel is so enjoyably positive. I've been having ATs since forever and been depressed for months without even noticing that I was over critical with myself, which probably turned into a habbit I need to break.
Thank you for this particular video! All my life I had AT's, never knowing what they were. Now I know.And...I (try to) apply the three R's...does'nt always work because I have to overcome a 50 year old bad habit...but, if people can stop smoking...I can stop the AT's :)
thank you a lot, i was very anxious and looking for any thing to take the AT's and the stress away, and your video really helped me now i'm calm and i think i can beat my anxiety, much love from Algeria , people like you are the real hero's Thank you .
Keep these coming! I love it, and use it in my social skills groups with Middle School students. Perfect medium.
this is amazing. to think that im writing this in 2021 and this video is still very much relatable and helpful, even til 9 years later. gonna share this with others in hope that it will help them too!
Great video. You are easy to understand and I will share with my clients. Very helpful. Please continue to share your content. It’s so needed.
Im a mental health professional and I recommend these short insightful videos to my patients. They are great!. Keep them up!.....I am a total catastrophiser..... :0 so these vidz helped me too !
+clare chettle That seems to be the trap that many of us who work in mental health fall into. It must be the nature of our work :)
Please make more. We need your channel to recalibrate our ways of negative thinking. I find this to be very helpful. Thank you!
i struggle a lot with these AT's and let them get in my head and take care my clear state of mind into an irrational one that explodes... this was very helpful and im gonna start attempting.thank you!
Kelly, To feel better reduce negative thoughts. Be careful what you feed your mind. Avoid comparing yourself physically or mentally with others, reduce watching negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind [psychsomatic]. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 10-15-20 minutes or more. You can sit or lie down, anywhere-anytime, neck straight and eyes closed. Never meditate with expectations but with awareness. Don’t fight your thoughts. With practice the mind will relax. Keep a reminder to observe your breath sensations throughout the day and night --before sleep, when reading, at work, in school, at home, etc with eyes open or closed. Make this a lifetime habit to have a better life. Best wishes--Counsellor.

Thank you will help me with my students and in my own personal life. Awesome i cant wait to share.
You're a great animator! And believe me, I don't say that lightly.
I love your drawing style, its cute and quick to the point. Nice job!
Yeah... I just love your style... the videos you are making to change the world and make it a better place. And I love your voice of reason. You are awesome. Keep it up, I hope I'll get to meet you one day, and thank the cast members too.

Omg!!! I love the video AT. You are all awesome and talented. I just started a power point for my daughter about how we feed off each other's feelings but really we confuse what we feel between us and it starts Wars. Keep up the great work. I hope I continue to find your site. I'm not that computer savvy. Loved watching, Chris R
I just came home from my cbt session and this is exactly what she went through with me!
i don’t really struggle with any of these. i’m more focused on when I’m going to have another panic attack or how anxious i feel. i can’t control the future but i can control how i feel and seem to not have a hold on that.
really good content thanks, finaly someone explains what to do in such situation.
Thanks so much for this video. I wasn't aware of these thoughts before, and at times i let them hijack my life and drain my happiness. I will try the exercise and hope it helps, as i just this morning had a situation that i probably catastrophized well beyond reality. Thanks again Wellcast.
I use a more streamlined version. I call it “tell the whole truth”. It’s when you take your thoughts, break it down into its individual statements and claims, and ask if each statement is absolutely true. Maybe there’s some truth there, but automatic thoughts are the lies we tell ourselves. Ferreting out the lies from the truth can really free you up to think more clearly.
MrDarkbluman very interesting. Sounds like a lot of work but worth a try
great video guys thank you always have this problem
oh! i needed this video! my ATs always mess w/ me and, well, the study that professor did really does explain a lot in my life right now... i hope i can improve myself and change my ATs from negative to positive. :)
Why isn't this more POPULAR?! I love this channel
Why is this channel so helpful and so AWSOME?
Thank u .. I'm really suffering with that.
Thank you for all your videos they truly help! I have the tendency to over-exaggerate things. if my friend would whisper in another friends ear I used to think they were talking about me when it turns out shes was just telling her she started. I will use these tips especially when going to high_school next year!!!! Suuuuuuuppper grateful!!!
This channel helps out so much
This is really helpful I found out I have ADD and I am a college student. My math anxiety class talks about this. thx
Thank you. Your videos actually are extremly helpful
love this :) im going to start a journal for my AT's asap. thanks for this well thought out video. I think it will help alot
Thank you WELLCAST keep changing our life with your great videos!! :')
one of the best wellcast videos I have seen so far
I've lived my life in a constant state of self reflection. It is a relief to be assured that others have the same faults and are motivated to change their own lives for the better.
I do it so much I never get to the actual work on myself.
this has to be the best channel on youtube and the most life changing love you wellcast:)
Very good, many people need this! You are awesome and I BELIEVE YOU WILL help some people with this video. Thank You! and God Bless You for making the world a better place!
I like this very much. Good information for clients.
2:02 Best animation ever😂😂😂
LOL! 😂😂😂😂
This is very helpful. Thank you!
this is the definition of my anxiety disorder...
Plz tell me what kind of thoughts do u HV??????
Raspberry_Pi_961 boring video
Sometimes...maybe. Actually, can't think of a good example. But when the thoughts start spiraling out of control, that's when it's unhealthy!
rest in peace
I love your presentations -- all of them at wellcast. Thanks.
I'm so thankful I watched this video
Love this great, creative spin on life issues.
Wow.. this is so helpful. This is a great way to help beat my anxieties!
I have a question that maybe someone can answer adequately.
If 'Emotional Reasoning' is considered irrational thinking, then why is 'Fake It 'Till You Make It' so condoned by psychologists? One is the belief that for example, if you believe you are confident, you therefore inevitably become more confident. While the other might be that, 'If I think I'm a terrible person, then I must be a terrible person!'
These two patterns of thinking use exactly the same mechanism of creating a self-fulfilling prophecy, so what makes them mutually exclusive? How do these psychologists have the audacity to call Emotional Reasoning irrational, when they're using exactly the same self-imposed fallacy to treat their own patients? How is that justified?
This is the worst part for me, once I get one negative thought it snow balls.
I can't stop watching your videos!!! the tittles are so intriguing.
I find watching well cast helps me alot
+Poppy Bishop ikr. do you know what happened to it? i mean they didnt post a vid in over a year
+KittyFace999 (from what I've heard) they stopped posting after their break because youtube stopped funding them and they can't afford to make these videos without the support from youtube
+Poppy Bishop Thats really sad. Their videos are really and I mean REALLY GOOD!
+Lucaya_Peybrina_Riarkle oh. thanks for letting me know. although I AM sad, let's be honest. there are
COMPLETELY pointless channels on TH-cam, who have more subscribers and more support from TH-cam. **COUGH COUGH-- HowToBasic --COUGH COUGH** And this channel is TRUELY BENEFICIAL.
Perfect video to explain what I was trying to convey. Thank you!
Thank you so much for these videos. They have been a big help.
Lkl
The animations used are very funny and very informative, thank you. :)
Great stuff, I am enjoying it
Great advice and video, thanks!
You are spiraling in a different way, but the end result is the same-your method of thinking about things out of your control is getting in the way of you taking risks and living your life. You're right, you could never reach your expectations because you are too afraid to even take the first step and text her. That future might be a possibility for you, but as long as you hold yourself back from it, it will definitely never come true.
wellcast, my friend gave me this advise years ago, and it is good
This is awesome! Thank you for making this very helpful videos!
I loved the animations of the character's facial expressions in this episode!
When I hear the two words math test my brain automatically shuts down from working.
Smarty Pants fellow a.r.m.y 🙌
I had the two most severe panic attacks I’ve had in my entire life of anxiety and attacks in the last two days. Despite plenty of evidence that my heart is fine I still am convinced there’s something wrong with my heart because I feel like I have heart murmurs. My heart will flop around and feel like it’s cramping up out of nowhere and that triggers a HUGE shot of adrenaline that throws me into a panic attack. Both attacks were so severe I completely lost a grip on reality and what was happening despite having my parents there with me, my heart continued to feel like it was hurting/skipping a beat/stopping or whatever it is that is happening and this kept pushing my attacks farther than I have ever experienced. It was so bad that I could not even focus enough to speak. Since my second attack I have been confined to my bed with a feeling that my heart is weak and every time I try to get up the beginnings of a panic attack set on and I have to lay back down and go through all my relaxation techniques from the beginning. I have an emergency appointment tomorrow in the morning which I’m having anxiety about having anxiety at. I can almost always handle panic attacks because I’ve had them for so long I’ve been able to quickly rationalize them and find that I’m in no danger, but now wether or my brain is creating phantom pains or murmurs in my heart (I want to but don’t believe this but it’s what I’m being told over and over) or something is actually happening(this is what I actually believe), I have a belief that I am actually in physical danger of something happening to my heart, I don’t know what is happening all I know is that it is uncomfortable, often painful, and absolutely terrifying. Laying in bed right now I feel like my heart is weakened and if I am not asleep my heart rate sits around 90-110 depending on when the waves of anxiety hit. For summary, either my heart has a legitimate issue, or my brain has found a way to break through the barriers I have set up against normal panic attacks by forcing me to believe I’m in actual danger through making my heart feel like there’s something wrong with it. I also have experienced these “heart murmurs” since 3rd grade, back then they only occurred once every few months but now they are multiple times a day and every one pushes me closer to an attack. When I first mentioned my heart was feeling strange all those years ago they put me on an EKG machine which showed nothing out of the ordinary. For me, I believe this is because at that point they were not happening often enough and the machine missed it. They also happen more the more panicked I get and create a positive loop.
I agree i started thinking negative thoughts all the time in 6th grade and it's gotten worse i'm in 8th grade now but i had started doing things to harm myself i have over 20 cuts but not bad enough to where it scared completely some are still there but i'm done with it i can't keep harming myself so i'm done with it. And I'm gonna be starting therapy again really soon I need it again I just want to be happy again cuz i've developed Depression.
your making my life BETTER witch is good
This is brilliant and it makes sense! Thank you!
This is a great video! May have permission to use it in my parenting curriculum? Thank you for your consideration.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
This is just what I needed, thank you.

I apologize for my rude behaviour but this channel hasn't been active for about a year. Not many will end up finding this comment.
HappyGamer too late bro!! I already got the answer and I got it.
Your videos and psychosocial behaviours are pretty awesome. I'm impressed and... glad...
#weneedyouwellcast should be trending on twitter. I need you. We need you. You've given us so many things that can help us improve upon ourselves. Don't shut yourself out of the picture, Kate. We will help you in any way we can! Once again, #weneedyouwellcast.

very interesting. thanks for this video
Helpful. Thank you!
plz continue.... its hlpfull
great videos and great advice. these animations are so cute :) and I really like the way you're talking!
I loved this. It helped me so much
1. I felt overwhelmed when I found out my my mother needed to pay three months worth of rent, because my bother would be evicted otherwise.
2. Fairy-tail approach. Whenever something less than ideal in regards to finances comes my way, I tend to shut down, and overwhelm myself with negative self-talk.
This comes from the traumatic experience of investing $25,000 into real estate investing, and ending up with negative ROI due to lack to discipline, coachability, and emotional intelligence.
3. I am capable of getting inspired and improve the current skills that I have, as well as learn new ones (discipline, coachability, emotional Intelligence), to be able to bring more value to the marketplace, specially during these times.
This by default will generate more income towards myself, and my loved ones, changing once and for all the relationship that I have with wealth creation.
Thank you . It is interesting
This is so helpful!
thanks this video is awesome and I have serious A.T. That actually turned out to be OCD(obsessive compulsive disorder).
Thank You.
AT are not all negative. AT are the thoughts that pop up automatically without any effort of our own. NAT - negative automatic thoughts are the ones that are automatic and negative. These indicate some dysfunctional core beliefs that we need to carefully review and transform. I love the amination and narrating. :)
So unhelpful. I hope this helps someone considering how ridiculous it is. Props for the people who got something out of this.
Will you make a video about how to not say bad things to strangers
CBT
Amazing helpful thank you
Sometimes I think why I have to do something I don't like/not interested? But it can't be helped, it have to be done.
Love the whole central theme. the graphics are very well done a well. Are you going to create a video for electronics? There are people who use electronics 24/7. It would be a nice video to show some friends.
Awesome! Thank you!
i love my thoughts, negative automatic or positive . it is my playground where i build ideas and widen my perception .
How funny, this is advice I really needed, and it was posted on my birthday o.o ...thanks Well Cast! wish i found this sooner!
This is a slightly simplified version of a very powerful practice called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I would highly recommend a book called Feeling Good by David Burns. There is a fairly recent edition an an older one.
I'd highly recommend reading and practicing the teachings in this book.
Thank you!!!
thank you watchwellcast! :D
Great way to shed light on the inner workings of negative automatic thoughts. lol this was great. This exercise quickly puts things into perspective.
TH-cam is stupid if they don't fund you anymore.
#weneedyouwellcast
Help wellcast and youtube change their minds.
Am I the only one who actually wrote this stuff down?
***** Okay good.
Erika Jennings Maybe you should have just downloaded the Wellcast Worksheet:
static.tumblr.com/s2l6mjv/3PCmizxss/automaticthoughts.pdf
I don't download stuff.
I did too
Erika Jennings Those things I NEED to embrace, I need to write down as notes as to master the logic behind it.
Can you please fix the closed captions, so the deaf and hard-of-hearing community can engage with this video in the same ways the hearing community can? Thank you!
I've been excercising, thinking positive, and I stopped procrastinating and I got a LOT more responsible! Your videos really do work. I've been watching them for only a month, and I got MUCH happier with my life and I don't feel a bit depressed anymore. :D I also got a $100 bonus from my job because I've been working hard and I was always positive. And I didn't spend it all on clothes like I would normally have done, I saved it and plan to raise more for my dream college. :D
How is life going? After 10 year
@@362adeeburrehman6 Wow thanks for asking. I was either 12 or 13 when I wrote that comment. Since then, I've gotten diagnosed with bipolar (and possibly BPD) and have been through a lot of trauma, trying out many, many medications (now I'm on the max dose of 3 different medications which I've been taking for 3 years), and being institutionalized a few times. I skipped 2 years of highschool due to a toxic relationship but managed to graduate cramming my work in a month. I don't go to college, I no longer believe in it but sometimes I feel like I should. I currently work at a pizza place, a job I've had since highschool (almost 6 years) and I no longer know what I want. I lost passion for graphic designing, photography, business, etc. I ran a business when I was 12-15 years old which made me a hundred dollars a day. I want that again, but I don't know where to start. This video talks about DBT, a type of therapy which STILL helps me to this day.
As I grew into my twenties (22 now), I matured rapidly. I have self control now. But not much has changed since I was a teenager, I'm still stuck and lost. I've been single for almost a year, which is a huge achievement especially because relationships tend to make me super unstable. I used to get hospitalized every month whether it'd be mental illness or drugs. Cops always showed up at my house too because of anger outbursts. I've been clean on drugs for 3 months now after an unfortunate binge relapse which caused me to total one car and mess up another, a lot. I just started kickboxing and exercising every day, I even got abs in a month! I've been in nice state of euthymia for a few months. Next week I'm traveling by myself and am going to climb some mountains, something I've never done before. I hope this trip will inspire me to realize what I want. I don't want to feel stuck anymore. I also still live with my parents. I have savings but it's not enough.
I have, however, always loved myself and never lost hope, I just got into a lot of bad stuff and being bipolar is not always fun. Bipolar is just, "This too shall pass until it comes back."
work on it everyday!!
This really helped me!
