Pattern Reframing Strategies for Negative Thinking
The 'Four Steps to Cognitive Reframing' used by MindLift:
- Immediate blocking: AI pushes "Thinking Sharp Brakes" exercise (with specific vibrational feedback to interrupt contemplation) when it detects 3 consecutive days of recorded negativity
- Replacement mechanism: The system provides 'positive counterpoints' that correspond to negative thoughts, for example:
- Original thought: 'I'll never be good at this' → Counterpoint: 'I'm getting better, the 5th attempt is more proficient than the 1st 30%'
- evidence testing: Falsify overgeneralized conclusions with historical check-in data through the "Facts vs. Feelings" comparison tool
- behavioral activation: Recommend matching mini-goals (e.g., "accomplish 1 small, manageable thing today") to create a positive feedback loop
The process incorporates CBT'sthe theory of cognitive triangulationIt is recommended to use 5 minutes of "Preventive Exercises" in the morning and 5 minutes in the evening for better results.
