I was working with a client today and we discovered a couple interesting tendencies the mind falls into if unchecked.
The first is about getting obsessed. If there is a pattern in your life to become overly focused on a person, a thing, an activity, to the extent you become fixated or dependent, it is usually a sign you are distracting yourself from something else that is a bigger stressor. Acknowledge and confront the big issue and the obsessive tendency has a chance to dissolve.
The second mental tendency is the need to look for external comfort and support instead of focusing internally. We all have the ability to nurture and support ourselves with healthy habits, calming techniques and feelings of accomplishment. If you find yourself exclusively searching for the approval or acknowledgement of others instead of focusing on yourself, you will experience pain and disappointment. Look within and help yourself feel fulfillment.
I like to share themes that may be of help to others in my work with clients.
Hope you find this useful.
