Beware of Your First Thoughts

The medical profession is well aware that our thoughts automatically create matching body chemicals which give rise to our “felt” experiences. They also know persistent negative thoughts such as worry, anger, guilt and shame can cause depression and illness.

Upon reflection, how often do we regret our immediate behaviour particularly those made under workplace stress? This resource is related to Attitudinal Skills training.
