Dang

I was trying to run a latent class analysis overnight since it takes hours to do and my system restarted. Back to the beginning! And then the 14000 Halton draw MIXL!

Recognizing the issue(s)

So I had another talk with the PhD psychologist today at the UU. One of the things that we discussed was identifying when I am filtering, overgeneralizing, magnifying, or having polarizing thoughts as these ten to result in negative thoughts and emotions which leads to more procrastination and worse psychological state overall. First, a bit of background (also, I have a latent class analysis running in the background so technically I'm working right now): Filtering is simply focusing on only the negative details while ignoring the positive ones. You "filter" out the good so you're only left with the bad. Case in point: we're in the middle of a big building process for a new level above our house.
