Anxiety and Depression

The most tempting kind of reward is a relief from tension, right? Ye. Our brain abhors tension. When you are in a state where you feel less than optimal, that it's going to be easier to justify a short term reward. It will do many, many things that are bad for us in order to escape tension. And so it's really important that when we're in that state of tension to recognize that and say, actually, i might not make my instincts might not be the best choice for me right now but that's ok need to like, set aside and not listen to my instincts.
