Hello! I hope you will accept this warm hug from afar.
It can be helpful to recognize the distress and worry that may arise when you find it challenging to concentrate on one thing.
It might be helpful to consider that a behavior pattern may reappear because it has been successful in meeting an inner need that was previously unmet.
It would be beneficial to understand the underlying needs that may be driving your inappropriate behavior patterns through your own behavior. One way to do this could be to keep an emotional diary, where you record your recent emotional feelings and behavior in words. This could help you gain a deeper understanding of your emotional state, explore the needs behind your emotions, and identify ways to respond and meet your needs in a more constructive manner.
It may be helpful to consider that behind any emotion is a hidden unmet expectation or need. This suggests that emotions are neither good nor bad, right nor wrong. It may be beneficial to view emotions as something that needs to be seen, accepted, and responded to. When we can try to get along with our emotions instead of avoiding or rejecting them, it's understandable why we might choose to avoid them because they can feel overwhelming. At this time, you can relieve the intensity of your emotions by taking 3 to 5 deep breaths. This may also help you to better experience and feel your emotions and explore the hidden needs behind them.
My name is Lily, and I'm the little ear of the Q&A Museum. I just wanted to say that the world and I love you.
