RE: What Our Brains DO: Living With, Processing and Dealing with Hardships
Thanks for stopping by @solarsupermama!
It seems to me that a lot of people get trapped by the myth that "movement" somehow allows us to skip through depth processing. Some people go shopping, some watch endless TV, some watch cat videos on YouTube, some jump relationships. As you suggest, these are just bandaids. They allow a momentary injection of good feelings that mask the deeper issue... of course, the opposite "danger" is that you can get trapped in eternal processing of the deeper meanings of things, and then you forget to actually get out there and LIVE life!
Exactly that. I had a friend who would immediately go do something else every time she felt an inkling of difficulty. She just encountered the same shit over and over. But like you said, eternal processing is also pointless.
