The Evidence Journal
A harsh core belief stays alive by quietly ignoring everything that doesn't fit it. This log does the opposite: it collects the contradicting evidence on purpose, over time. It's not 'think positive' — it's building a factual case, slowly, with real data you can trust.
The belief I'm testing
The old, harsh belief (e.g. 'I always let people down')

______________________________________________
The fairer belief I'm building toward
A truer, kinder belief to gather evidence for (e.g. 'I show up more than my brain admits')

How much I believe the fairer belief now
Rate from 0 (Not at all) to 10 (Fully): ____
Volume over time: One big moment won't flip an old belief, and that's fine. It's the steady pile of small, boring evidence that slowly retrains what feels true.
