Mental Traps. What are mental traps?

Are you currently locked in a mental trap? I will be exploring these States of Being or Modes of Thinking using Andre Kukla's "Mental Traps - The Overthinker's Guide to a happier life." The podcast to accompany this blog is available at http://smahoo.mypodcast.com/. You can also get a copy of this interesting book via www.randomhouse.ca.

Each of us deal with Mental traps as a part of our every day life experience. Some of us can find ourselves trapped in one or more of these mental states of Being or Modes of thinking for periods that can be brief or prolonged, depending on our dependence on them to cope with our life situations.

Regardless of their seeming effectiveness in helping us deal with our life issues it is a fact that in reality they are injurious to us and usually is responsible for many of the things we would like to change about our life.
