Eliminate overgeneralization. What happens when you’ve been doing great on your diet but suddenly find yourself with an empty bag of Doritos in your lap and an unnaturally orange substance covering your hands? Usually generalization. This is where you turn a single negative event into a never-ending pattern of defeat, and it’s this kind of thinking that can cause you to give up after a bad day. The solution? Attack the belief. Write down all the reasons why this bad day is really just that — a bad day — and not a sentence to a life of failure.

　　拒絕一概而論。很多時候，心情不好是由于只看到一個不好的面而形成的，久而久之就會惡性循環成一種挫敗感，事實上，就是這種挫敗感才使得你覺得這一天很難過。
