NOTE

Focus on Problems, Not Emotions

People often struggle to remain problem-focused when confronted with challenging situations, allowing their emotions to dictate responses instead of addressing the actual issue. This emotional focus can manifest in various behaviors such as avoiding tough conversations, people-pleasing, or seeking comfort in unhealthy habits like overeating. To combat this tendency, individuals should proactively reflect on their focus during these moments and recognize when they are overcomplicating or prolonging the response to a situation. Awareness of this shift from problem-solving to emotional relief is crucial for effective decision-making and personal growth.
