mentalhealth

What coping mechanisms were you taught as a child to help navigate your emotions?

I’ve been reflecting on this a lot in my own mental wellness journey. 

For me, it was to go buss someone’s ass on the basketball court 🤷🏽‍♂️ 

Which is no help as adult 😅

Fight harder for people’s love and attention when I feel rejected. 

Has been working out terribly but it’s something I must “unlearn” which is impossible because I never forgot how to drive. So I have to learn how to drive stick.

Yeahhhh I read that the term “unlearning” is a bit of a misnomer, because we really can’t unlearn how to drive a car or ride a bike. 

So we have to force ourselves and reward ourselves for changing our behavior and things like you said talking nice to ourselves.

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽

On my journey, I’ve really leaned into the power of words! Shifting my language to affirmatives has helped a lot

I didn’t realize how much negative self talk I was constantly doing 😅😕
