The 10 Mental Debugs

• Your Worth Is a Results: The belief that your value is tied directly to external metrics and outcomes. This glitch makes your self-worth as volatile as the stock market. 
  
  
• You control everything: The illusion that you must manage every variable to avoid failure. 3This relentless pursuit leads to burnout and frustration because it's a game you can never win.
  
  
• Emotions Are a Sign of Weakness: The suppression of vital emotional data. This code forces you to disconnect from your intuition, making you prone to burnout and bad decisions.
  
  
• Approval Is Your Fuel: This code turns you into a slave to external validation, constantly seeking praise and avoiding criticism.
  
  
• Happiness Is the Final Boss: The false promise that happiness is a destination you earn after achieving a goal. It traps you in a cycle of perpetual dissatisfaction.
  
  
• Comparison Is the Thief of Joy: The constant habit of measuring your progress against others, leading to feelings of inadequacy and a toxic sense of competition.
  
  
• All-or-Nothing Thinking: The mental virus that sees everything in extremes—success or failure, perfect or garbage—leaving no room for nuance or learning.
  
  
• "Should" Statements: The internal dialogue that creates rigid rules for how you or others "should" behave. This leads to constant guilt and frustration when those rules are broken.
  
  
• Predicting the Worst: The cognitive habit of catastrophizing, or assuming the most negative outcome is the most likely. This fuels anxiety and prevents you from taking calculated risks.
  
  
• The Blame Game: The tendency to either blame yourself entirely for things outside of your control or to externalize all problems, preventing you from learning or taking effective action.
