<EMOTIONS> preventing work

Post by manuel_moe_g »

I have to go through a pile of papers, and feel really big apprehension because of <EMOTIONS>, doing "Four Elements Grounding Exercise" https://www.amandahope.org/blog/four-elements then do S-M-A-S-H technique laid out in the "Overwhelm" Inflow module ([S]hake it out body movement, [M]ake a List, [A]cceptance of emotions, [S]et a timer, [H]urry to get an imperfect work product out)

<wish me luck, please 😁>

Manuel Moe, I would wish you luck, but you don't need it:

Who needs luck when you have such an excellent plan?

(In fact, with imitation being the most sincere form of flattery, I might well borrow that idea. Thank you for the link.)

IT WORKED!

I feel good, I am a man with a plan!

(Next best thing to snapping my fingers and making these negative emotions disappear 😅 )

<THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT, OAK!>

As I practice these techniques to start working on tasks I have huge emotional blockage about, I will write in more detail. (4 elements grounding technique and S-M-A-S-H technique)
