5. Alcohol/drugs.
Alcohol, whilst seemingly your friend, can ultimately end up causing more problems than it anaesthetises, and can be the first thing we turn to when in distress. Try non-alcoholic choices (there are some great options out there), alternate alcoholic drinks with soft drinks, and try alternative ways to relax – ‘special time’ with a lover is fantastic, as is meditation, and exercise. Many use therapy as their weekly ‘check-in’ to unravel the week’s challenges, and as a way of making sense of current difficulties.
