Shifting Your Attention and Over-Compensation

When a specific area of your left gets out of control, you may over compensate in a more manageable life area. For example, you may be behind in the your work or school life, and instead of dealing with those looming issues and tasks associated with them, you’ll spend your time cleaning a out an old closet or your the trunk of your car. Once you finish cleaning that closet or trunk, if you ever really finish, you get a temporary sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. You may truly believe that you’re much better off not that you’ve accomplished the task, and you may very well be. The problem is that you’re still most likely feeling the stresses of work or school.

Certain life categories such as physical fitness, mental welling being, and self-education commonly take a back seat to more pressing and less important life categories. You can get so caught up and consumed in life that those significant life areas tend to fall by the waist side. Your level of physical fitness can take a nose dive, your stress level can go through the roof, and your marriage or relationship with friends and family may suffer. The worst part is that by time you realize that this has happened, it’s too late. You’ve been so busy worry about other areas of your life that never take a good look at the others.
