Srikumar Rao explains how your internal thoughts amplify problems far beyond what actually happened. Losing a job becomes catastrophic only when you layer on "What will people say?" and "I'll have to move in with my parents." Noticing this mental chatter is the first step to stopping it.

Whatever situation you are in, your mental chatter about that situation makes it an order of magnitude worse. You lost your job. Oh, my God. I don't have a job. What are people going to say? Will I ever get a job? I want to be financially independent. I'll have to move in with my parents. This is absolutely terrible. I don't want to move in with my parents. Your mental chatter makes it an order of magnitude or two orders of magnitude worse than it is.
