  Excerpt from  Think Yourself into Becoming a Language Learning Super Star Avoid Emotional Reasoning If you are an emotional reasoner, you may get completely derailed on your journey to good language proficiency because you let your emotions rule your reason. Emotional reasoning, often lumped in with cognitive distortions (Beck, 1979), lets your emotional state, which can be a result of your academic experiences or a result of the events in your life or both, color your attitude, whether that is toward your course, your studying, your homework, your teacher, your textbook, your assignments, your classmates, or any other aspect of your academic life.   Definition of emotional reasoning Emotional reasoning feels like you are riding a roller coaster. Your performance chugs upward, then speeds downward, over and over. Under these conditions, your performance is tracking with these emotional peaks and valleys, ups and downs, and not with your study. Here are some examples: •

Excerpt from  Think Yourself into Becoming a Language Learning Super Star Wrong Thinking That Impedes Your Learning Progress; Right Thinking That Speeds Up Your Progress All too often learners are held back from complete success by obstacles of their own making through just plain wrong thinking.

They creep into our thinking rather naturally, but we need to fight them off because w hen we let cognitive distortions creep into our thinking, we end up interpreting events in such a way that fuels emotions such as anxiety, depression, or anger—and that puts up barriers to language learning success.  For the sake of space, in this book, I am including in the sections that follow those cognitive distortions that I have found to be especially pertinent for language learners. If you are interested, you can Google the term, cognitive distortion , and find quite a long list of cognitive distortions that researchers have found. All-or-Not
