Morning mind games, part 3
Morning mind games, part 2
Continued from Part 1. I’ve been reading You Are Not Your Brain, and this comic illustrates examples of thinking errors including “Mind Reading” (thinking I know what he is thinking) and “Catastrophizing” (imagining the worst).
See Part 3.

Why is the house cleaner when Steve is gone?
Steve has been gone since Monday, and the living room, entryway, kitchen, and bedroom have been unusually clean. With Steve gone, however, the kid (encouragers of entropy) – to – adult (opposers of entropy) ratio is greater.
Kids:Adults = Encouragers of entropy:Opposers of entropy
With Steve: 3:2
Without Steve: 3:1
How are we able to explain this phenomenon? Please choose from the following:
A. Corrie forces the kids to clean up when Steve isn’t around to report her to CPS.
B. Corrie doesn’t have to pick up after Steve, just after the boys.
C. Corrie is lonely and ends up cleaning since she can’t hang out with her best friend.
or
D. All of the above.
Steve is coming home tomorrow afternoon. I predict that our house will become messier, but that our overall happiness level will be greater.
