Examine negative thoughts and worries by considering what types of cognitive distortions might be involved – in other words, determine what type of partial- or non-truth your mind might be telling you.  Cognitive distortions might include:   All-or-nothing thinking: Black-and-white statements that lack any middle ground. You are either good or bad, wrong or right, and there is no complexity or in-between.  Overgeneralization: Taking one negative experience and making it a hard-and-fast "rule." These thoughts often include the phrases "You always...", "I never...", or "Everyone..."  Mental filtering: Filtering out all the positive elements of a situation and leaving only the negatives. Maybe you went on a fantastic date, but all you can focus on is that one awkward silence at the beginning of the night.  Jumping to conclusions: Drawing negative conclusions without a reasonable foundation of evidence, such as assuming we know what others are thinking or what will happen in the future.  Catastrophizing: fixating upon worst-case scenarios and blowing small problems out of proportion.  Emotional reasoning: Believing that the way you feel right now reflects objective reality. If you feel poorly, then the current situation must be very bad.  "Shoulds" and "should-nots": Holding yourself to a strict set of (often arbitrary) rules and creating unrealistic expectations of what you should and should not do.  Labeling: Labeling yourself or others based upon perceived shortcomings, even if we have much evidence to the contrary.  Personalization: Adopting personal responsibility for circumstances outside your control. If the party you planned is rained out despite the sunny forecast, you blame yourself for the bad weather.  Magnification and minimization: You minimize your positive attributes while idealizing others. When someone gives you a compliment, you explain it away. Create a "thought diary" just for this purpose. When you have a negative thought, turn to a clean page and follow these steps:  Write down the activating event, which could be a thought, event, or situation. An example would be: "I had a big fight with my partner before work this morning." Write down the negative thoughts or beliefs that occurred during and after the activating event. Ask yourself: "What was I thinking?" "What was I saying to myself?" and "What was going through my head at the time?" An example might be: "I've blown it. That's the end of the relationship. He's tired of putting up with me and doesn't love me anymore and he's going to leave me." Write down words describing how you feel and underline the one most associated with the activating event. For example, "Afraid, Lonely, Hurt." With "Afraid" underlined. Examine what you've written and see if you notice any unhelpful thinking styles you might have used. For example, "Catastrophizing, jumping to conclusions, black and white thinking." Make two columns under the negative thought: one to list evidence for your negative thought, one for evidence against your negative thought. Filling in these columns will allow you to see whether there is any truth to your negative thought.  Continuing the example of fighting with your partner, the "Evidence for" column might say: "He got really angry and red in the face and stormed out of the house. He didn't call me during his lunch break like he usually does." The "Evidence against" column might say: "We've fought before, worse than this, and we can always talk it out. He has told me that he takes a while to cool down after getting angry, but when he's calmed down he's rational and willing to compromise. He told me earlier this week he has meetings all day today and won't be able to call me during lunch. He has said many times that he's committed to making our marriage work, no matter what. Fighting is unusual for us," etc. This process helps you look at your thoughts objectively. You analyze, assess, and evaluate your thoughts to see if they have any basis in truth, instead of accepting them without question. Ask yourself the following questions about the negative thought and record your answers in your thought journal:  How else might I view the situation? If I were not feeling this way, how would I view the situation? Realistically, what is the likelihood of that happening? How might someone else view the situation? Does it really help me to think this way? What are some helpful self-statements?

Q: Getting a drastic haircut is the quickest way to look completely different. If you want to disguise yourself, though, you're going to want to pick something that won't draw attention--a blue mohawk or a pink costume wig probably aren't the best choices.  Men can style their hair differently by using products like hair spray or gel to create a more elaborate "do" than usual, or could shave their head completely. Also consider a dye-job, or using cheap talcum powder to make some gray streaks that will really throw people. If you have facial hair, shave it into a different shape or get rid of it completely. If you don't have any, consider growing a beard or a sneaky mustache. Women can consider getting a realistic-looking wig or extensions to change the basic shape of their hair. You can also quickly go back to your "old" style that way, if you want to for further disguises. Keep them guessing by changing frequently and without warning. Dye your hair a different color each week and ensure that you'll never be noticed. Try combinations of highlight patterns and full dye jobs. It worked for Clark Kent. By adding some frames to your wardrobe, you'll pass the "glance test." People will recognize you when they look closely, sure, but you'll be able to get past their initial screen. By adding glasses or sunglasses, you'll round out a disguise. If you have contacts, consider trying color-change contacts, or digging out those old frames you no longer wear. For a dramatic effect, paint moles, beauty marks, wrinkles or other imperfections on your face. Lighten or darken your skin to further confuse people. Get a spray-on tan or a conspicuous fake tattoo. If you're a guy, or even if you just don't normally wear make-up, a little can go a long way in changing your appearance. Just adding some eyeliner and changing your clothes can give you a whole different aura. Try changing your height with heeled shoes, or by slouching more and carrying yourself differently than usual. Consider losing or gaining weight, if you have the time to do so, or simply begin dressing as if you had. Pad your clothes with extra layers to look as if you've put on a few pounds.
A: Change your hair. Wear glasses and sunglasses. Make friends with make-up. Change your size and posture.
