Identify your rational beliefs by answering the questions that you asked in Step 4. Make sure that each rational answer refers to the disputing question directly above it.
Examples of rational answers include the following:
There is no reason why I must.
There is no evidence.
It's a pain, but it's not awful.
A bad act does not make me a bad person.
There is no law that says others must.
Just because I prefer X, does not mean that I must have X.
Tip: to make your rational answers more effective:
Be forceful in your answers.
Use strong language.
Provide as many reasons as you can to put the lie to your irrational beliefs.
