In Genesis, Esau returned to his brother, Jacob, being famished from the fields. …
Jacob offered to give Esau a bowl of stew in exchange for his birthright (the right to be recognized as firstborn) and Esau agreed.
The birthright (bekorah) has to do with both position and inheritance.

So says Dr. David Burns, in The Feeling Good Handbook.
Think about that statement and know that it is true. Here is a list here the checklist of cognitive distortions that Dr. Burns outlines.
Look them over, print them out and stick them in a wallet or on the refrigerator or next to bed. When you find yourself entering a state of anxiety, head for this list!
The key to stopping Negative thinking patterns & panic in it’s tracks ~
Lies in first identifying the ‘source of your anxiety’.
Once this is done this, a positive record your thoughts regarding the event.
It is quickly learned that ‘MOST ~ (if not all) thoughts during an upsetting event are distortions – & will be able to PAUSE & CALL TO CONSCIOUSNESS ~ the distorted thinking & turn it to POSITIVE ~ before TO SAVE RELATIONSHIP & SELF ESTEEM!
Once identified the distortion by pausing ~ a more POSITIVE thought can be re-encoded into the Prefrontal brain.
Sounds tough? It becomes second nature after a while! (calling NEGATIVE thoughts to consciousness & CHOOSING to re-encode to a Positive Mentality.
