Personal Guides And Worksheets To Manage Addiction

By Dominique Martin


For many individuals, emotions are a scary thing. What makes it even more difficult is the fact that we just do not know what to do with them. As such, we turn to the strategies we do know, such as distracting yourself by engaging in video games, drinking alcohol or tinkering with your tool. However, in an effort to forget such feeling, we end up addicted to other unhealthy behaviors. This article, therefore, takes you through personal guides and worksheets to manage addiction, chronic pain and emotional issues.

In an effort to manage your emotion, begin by decoding the emotions. The preliminary step is to identify what you are feeling; all emotions fall into one of these categories, sadness, anxiety, happiness and anger. With anxiety, your mind lights up with what is likely to happen. For example, what if you lose your job; you do not meet someone or fail a test.

It is additionally critical to think judicious considerations rather than disavowal. In the event that you are trying to claim ignorance about the issue, minimizing it, trivializing it and shrewd yourself about it, then you will never get where you have to be. On the off chance that you can't overcome the day without a shot of liquor, you may be sedating yourself for wretchedness, nervousness or torment. Make sure to rely on others to help you think normally.

Also, be sure to talk about your addiction and feelings. Do not suppress your feelings or deny them. Acknowledge that you have a problem and deal with them directly. In addition, do not try to belittle your situation. Talking about the situation enables you to gain the willing support of other people.

In addition, ensure to get a dose of sunlight daily. Exposure to the sun lifts your mood and it is thus useful to get at least 10-15 minutes of sunlight daily. You can achieve this while exercising, socializing or gardening. Also, create some time for appreciation and contemplation. Consider the things you are grateful for. Pray, meditate, enjoy the sunset and take a moment to pay attention to what is positive, good and beautiful as you go about your day.

It is also important to acknowledge the feelings of your opponent as legitimate. Despite you feeling different about a situation, the feelings of your opponent are real and denying their validity or existence is just likely to intensify the feelings. Allow them to be recognized and express their feelings in order to release them and enable you to move on and deal with more substantive issues in dispute. Ensure to be an active listener.

Remember not to react emotionally to emotional outbursts. Instead, acknowledge the outburst by active listening- that demonstrates you understand the power of the feelings of the speaker. Reacting emotionally yourself will only heighten the emotions and conflict as a whole. In case you are experiencing trouble staying calm, leave the room temporarily. Leaving the scene will provide you with the chance to calm down and think. This in turn will enable you to plan an effective response, as opposed to reacting automatically that often makes the situation worse.

Finally, make leisure time a priority. All in all, have some time for yourself. Do things for the reason that it feels good doing them. For instance, go for a funny movie, listen to music, take a walk on the beach, read a book and talk to a friend. Undertaking things due to their fun is no indulgence. It is worth appreciating that play is a mental and an emotional health necessity.
