So my teacher gave me more time on the project for the class, because I explained that I was struggle with class due to personal issue at home. A friend of mine (older adult) told me that it is great that I have an understanding teacher but… My “personal issue” was basically jus cry/grieved over friends and do nothing all day. What she said is pretty harsh which she already warned me before. She said “How many days did you waste over your so-call friends and use that excuse?”. I was surprised by that question and was too shame to say it. Because I know the truth. A lot. I waste lot of days over that like that in past. I accept that my excuse for not finish project on time because of my emotion burst-out is kinda lame.
So my question is… How can you continue your day or your works while you have lot of emotions go on inside you? I really want to know. I am tired of my own situations or emotions interrupts my life… I really want know the answer to that. I want to improve my management skill over my own emotions.

It helps me to be in public, visible to strangers. I’m an extreme introvert by nature, but most of my life I’ve worked jobs that require extensive interaction with people, and on those days when I needed to crawl into my hole and hide due to an emotionally charged issue, the simple fact that I couldn’t because “people” were relying on me to assist them is the only thing that kept me focused on the task at hand. It’s difficult as hell, it’s frustrating as hell, and might seem impossible, but you just (just?) have to force yourself to put the negative emotions back in their closet and trudge ahead. Imagine that someone more frail and vulnerable than you is depending on YOU to accomplish a task. . . maybe a little sister or brother, and they really need you to be present and focused. It isn’t easy, but with practice, it becomes easier.
It also helps if you put butter all over your feet, because that’s very weird, and you’ll definitely forget about everything else while you try to figure out why you put butter all over your feet. 😉 🙂
Lol! Good one! I will might just do that one of those day.
And thanks for share your thoughts. It helps.
Music. I listen to music to help get my mind off things .
