Cognitive Behavior

Cognitive behavior refers to the way our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. Essentially, the way we think about a situation can affect how we feel and how we act. For example, if you interpret a setback as a failure, you might feel discouraged and withdraw. Conversely, seeing it as a learning opportunity can lead to resilience and proactive behavior. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a common approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, leading to healthier emotions and actions. This understanding empowers individuals to modify their responses and improve their mental well-being.
