Hmm. It's like I was part of that study.
I am a very emotional person and an empath. That's part of what makes me good at my job. And I actually just recently acknowledged that I am putting my emotional state before my to-do list. (Which is about 5 miles long at this point)
I keep saying I'll make some changes, but I don't find the motivation to actually do it. Even just taking better care of me. You would think the pain that I deal with almost daily would be a big kick in the butt to do something good for myself, but I still just dont. And can't seem to put my finger on why, other than my emotional state. So there ya go.
Take it that you also have an intensity perception control that is jammed at 1000%
There are some things where I have to prepare myself mentally before hand so that regulate my anxiety over completing the task. This often involves situations where my dyslexia presents its unique challenges.
At other times I completely offset my emotions and focus intently at the task at hand. I do try to limit the number of times and the duration of doing this as it is very dangerous for my wellbeing.
But as mentioned in the article removing distractions is beneficial. So much to the irritation of some others mobile goes on flight mode, two way radio I some how accidentally bump the controls so ether the volume is turned down or ends up on the wrong channel.
Change is difficult, particularly if you have drained yourself finding the motivation can be a challenge.
I'm trying a new approach with this.
I have always looked to try and maintain balance but some how I have always found myself running at a deficit where I have been left unable to service my own needs.
So with a lot of considerable thought on self awareness.
I am working harder at being more resistant at pushing back at unreasonable demands others place on me.
I have a tendency to over empathise, so I am trying to learn to not over burden myself with other people's problems.
I make the time for myself to do things I enjoy and mark that time out in my calendar. And while I am doing those things I turn off the phone.
I needed a way to interact with people away from work and the larguments* in the local pubs. So I started going to the furmeets in London. And I am looking at courses I can attend locally to meet others.
* largument/s - an alcohol induced argument that none of the involved parties have any idea of what it is there arguing about, and most probably agree with one and other but are too pissed up to realise.
Going to stop here or there will be complaints of a long post.
