Summarize the following:
Dysfunctional thinking is a way of framing the world so that you feel you're always fighting an uphill battle. Some common examples include: Polarized thinking: Not allowing for any gray areas in life, or thinking in "black and white." Filtering or discounting the positives: Focusing on the negative of a situation and ignoring any positives. Fortune-telling: Thinking that you know what will happen in the future. Mind-reading: Thinking you know that others are thinking badly of you or that you are responsible for their negative feelings. Overgeneralization: Thinking that one bad experience guarantees more bad experiences. Blaming: Blaming yourself for things you are not responsible. Emotional reasoning: Thinking with emotions or letting emotions affect how you perceive an event. "Should statements": Using terms such as "should", "must", and "ought" to in your thinking; this is a form of judging yourself. Magnification and minimization: Thinking that make issues seem larger than they are or trying to ignore issues. Labeling: Using terms that diminish your whole self-concept by being known as a certain trait or mistake. Journaling can be a useful tool in order to analyze your own thoughts without outside help. Journaling can help you identify and change the way you think and behave. This practice has also been shown to help decrease stress, which can be a byproduct of depression and loneliness. Find whatever works best for you. This can be a notebook, loose-leaf notebook paper, or your computer. Our thoughts greatly influence how we feel and how we interpret and perceive our environments, our futures, and ourselves. People who suffer with depression often have thoughts that they are worthless, unlovable, or undeserving, and they often have thoughts that their environments are overwhelming, have insurmountable obstacles, and that their futures are hopeless. Many who suffer from depression feel powerless to change how they feel and the course of their lives. Our thoughts greatly influences our feelings and behaviors, which is the basis for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT has been shown to be successful for treating depression. Relapse depression symptoms were much lower for those who had undergone CBT than for those who were being treated with medications alone. A great way to start this process is to monitor your emotions and automatic thoughts by recording them in a journal or daily record. Start first by noticing mood changes, then begin to analyze what your thoughts had been just prior to feeling differently. For example: Event: I received poor feedback on my presentation at work. Feelings: I felt embarrassed. Here is another example: Event: I forgot to sign the birthday card for my boss. Feeling: I felt regretful and embarrassed. Automatic thoughts are the things that pop into your head spontaneously. They tend to pertain to three types of ideas: ideas about yourself, about the world, and about the future. After you've identified your emotions about an event where your mood changed, you can start to analyze the automatic thoughts that correspond to the event. Then you can evaluate these thoughts to determine how they are dysfunctional, challenge them by looking for evidence for and against the thought. In your journal, create a chart in which you can record certain situations, their corresponding emotions, and the thoughts you had just prior to your emotions. For example: Event: I received poor feedback on my presentation at work. Feelings: I felt embarrassed. Automatic thought: I am so stupid. Identify the dysfunctional thought: You are labeling yourself. Here is another example: Event: I forgot to sign the birthday card for my boss. Feeling: I felt regretful and embarrassed Automatic thoughts: I know my boss hates me now. Identify the dysfunctional thought: You are trying to mind-read. Counteract your automatic labeling with thoughts that are more rational. Some ways to generate more rational thoughts include looking for evidence for or against the automatic thought, looking to your past for a similar situation in which the automatic thought did not hold true, and analyze the situation for blame and logically redistribute responsibility for feelings and events to others that may have been involved. For example: Event: I received poor feedback on my presentation at work. Feelings: I felt embarrassed. Thoughts: I am so stupid. Rational thought: I am not my thoughts or behaviors. I am not a label. I am not stupid. I made a mistake and will do better in the future. Here is another example: Event: I forgot to sign the birthday card for my boss. Feeling: I felt regretful and embarrassed Automatic thoughts: I know my boss hates me now. Rational thought: I cannot know what my boss is thinking about me. It was an honest mistake. I can always verbally tell my boss happy birthday.

summary: Recognize common types of dysfunctional thinking. Find a journal to write in. Monitor your emotions in your journal. Write down your automatic thoughts. Write down rational thoughts to reframe the automatic thoughts.

Summarize the following:
Continue to mix until the mixture has created a soft dough. Form each piece into a ball, and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Let refrigerate for 30 minutes. Grill for three to five minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Serve with ricotta, goat, or fontina cheese, prosciutto, and arugula.
summary: Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add butter, and mix on low speed for about 2 minutes. While mixing, add 10-12 tablespoons of water. Add the herbs and knead dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into four or five smaller pieces. On a lightly floured surface, use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten each piece of dough into a circle about 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) thick. Preheat a grill pan on medium-high heat. Coat each piece of dough with extra virgin olive oil. Remove from grill and allow to cool. Finished.
