Start with simple, basic things to maintain your emotional health. It's simple, enjoyable, and incredibly useful! And only when the crocodile is satisfied, proceed to the next stage
From a conversation with a Client:
- I work a lot on myself.
- What exactly are you doing?
- I read different articles, books, I want to attend seminars and trainings, I do exercises.
- Tell us about the exercises?
- I write out my feelings, analyze the reasons. I already understand a lot about myself.
- This is very good. Compared to last month, how far have you progressed? Are you more emotionally comfortable?
- No. But I continue to work on myself, so I bought a new book.
According to Paul McLean's theory of the "triune brain" to disassemble, analyze, think, read, write, understand artistic images, indulge in memories or dreams - the neocortex is responsible for all these actions. A part of the brain that is unique to us humans. The neocortex is the youngest structure, only a few thousand years old.
Intellectual and modern, we actively invest in it: we go to trainings, seminars, read literature, and then we shift what we have learned to ourselves and imagine that we know and understand everything. The key question is: how much are we really progressing in understanding ourselves, others, and emotionally competently reacting? What if things are still there?
Let's pay attention to 2 more ancient brain structures - the reptilian brain and the limbic system - the brain of the crocodile and the horse. Forgive me neurospecialists for such a simplification.
The reptilian brain was formed 400 million years ago, the limbic system is younger - about 100 million years. Attention question: when you find yourself in an emotionally charged situation, in conditions of stress, what will work first? Bingo! The most "ancient" education! Those. a crocodile wakes up in us!
- Now ask yourself, is your crocodile happy?
- And what does he need to be happy?
- As for all reptiles, his requirements are simple: he cares about food, water, sleep, reproduction, safety. To what extent is all this present in your life?
How much do you eat? Does it happen that you postpone lunch because of other more important things? Or maybe, on the contrary, you eat when you are not hungry? Do you drink water? How many hours do you sleep? Sex?
Sometimes a feeling of anxiety, anxiety overtakes us, because basic needs are not satisfied. And the question is removed by a simple regime.
Children are naughty when they cannot express their needs in words. And you?
- What are you doing for your body?
- A lot of everything. I go to dances, for example.
- Excellent! Do you enjoy it? Tell us about the dancing.
- I force myself to go there, I am very lazy. But then, already when I work out, I feel pride and pleasure.
Again the neocortex. Effort - pride - satisfaction that I could, forced myself.
And what is the pleasure for a crocodile? Choose a massage, body wraps, body-oriented therapy, make yourself masks, peelings, and just smear your hands with cream with pleasure! It should be pleasant in the process, and not from pride in the effort spent.
Start with simple, basic things to maintain your emotional health. It's simple, enjoyable, and incredibly useful! And only when the crocodile is satisfied, proceed to the next stage.
Be happy!
Quite at times it prevents me from falling asleep
Exciting, no matter how you turn, The essence suddenly revealed to me
Some unthinkable shit.
THEM. Guberman
Stop analyzing! Sometimes it's much easier: feed the crocodile and go to bed!
