Tolerating Anxiety
When we struggle with anxiety, the natural instinct can be to try to reduce or eliminate our distress. While well-intentioned, this approach may be maintaining our anxiety. Instead of trying to rid yourself of anxiety, consider leaning in and working to tolerate the discomfort.
Procrastination
Sometimes there are not significant consequences from procrastination, but it can lead to missed deadlines, poor academic/work performance, emotional distress, or even adverse health effects
Self-Criticism: Does it work for me?
It is often not an intentional act, but a reflexive response when we make a mistake or fail at a task. Self-criticism is often an accepted aspect of mistakes or missed opportunities, in that many patients do not always question their presence. But if this is something you recognize as a common pattern in your own thinking, it might be worth a closer look.
