The Swiss Cheese Toolkit is made up of a metaphorical item for each “slice” – or chapter – of the book. Each item reminds us of an important life lesson so we can free ourselves to lead a positive and healthy life. The Magnifying glass is the image of the chapter entitled “Don’t Whine With The Cheese Please!” It signifies the importance of being a “thought detective” and examining irrational thoughts, and replacing the thoughts with more rational ones.
Or try the Thought Stopping method to help prevent ruminating: Picture a RED stop sign that alerts you to stop out-of-control thinking… and make sure you stop!
Wait, stop and take CONTROL!
So next time you are blinded by anger or emotional upset, ask yourself, “What Am I Thinking?”
