Emotional Discomfort
Many people are in a state of emotional distress due to a situation like boredom, frustration, or being overwhelmed.
Food seems soothing to them in this state of dissociation, causing them to eat mindlessly, something called ‘stress eating’. This is a way to mentally escape or detach from the existing unpleasant situation.

Trauma and Fearfulness
Trauma
Trauma is a distressing experience that affects our mental and physical well-being. It is the unresolved emotional response to a frightening event that occurred.

The effects of trauma
Trauma shows up in our body in many different ways. It causes us to think illogically whenever we feel scared.
It may show up as:
- fear
- nightmares
- social isolation
- anxiety and depression.
Healing from our trauma
As individuals we have the responsibility of holding ourselves accountable as to how we respond to traumatic experiences, how we heal, and grow out of trauma.
Healing from trauma is not easy work but it allows us to face our fears headstrong. We will also be able to provide our own needs instead of relying on other people to soothe us when distressed.

The Scientific Underpinnings and Impacts of Shame
Shame Affects Our Mental Health
Shame is that uncomfortable sensation we feel in our stomach when we realize our irrationality and cannot run away from the judging eye of other people. It usually happens when we ...
Women And Children Feel Shame More Intensely
- Women and adolescents are quick to feel the negative effects of shame, and dive into low self-esteem and depression at a much faster rate than men.
- Young people have a stronger ‘pull’ towards any kind of emotion, including shame, which is the reason for them being susceptible to severe depression.
- The propensity of shame decreases as we grow older, but elders again start to feel ashamed just as a young person, as they get self-conscious of their actions, appearance and bodily decline.
Shame And Guilt
- Guilt is related to shame but is easier to rectify, as we focus our attention on the other person and apologize, accepting responsibility.
- Shame is an inward emotion that makes us view our entire self in a bad light, with us getting punished by our conscience.
- Guilt is actually a positive emotion, showing our empathy and encouraging us to reverse the harm that we may have done.

Can You Cure Chronic Lateness?
Chronically Late People
Being habitually and chronically late for work or any other appointment is a kind of insanity, according to Tim Urban, who classifies such people (comprising 15 to 20 percent of the population as p...
Cultivating Punctuality
Being late is a chronic habit and shifting towards punctuality can take weeks or even months, as the person has to break down a pattern (of being late) and build a new one.
One has to train their mind to the new normal of being on time by thinking and planning ahead, proactively.
Running Late: Breaking The Habit
The amount of energy it takes to rush into things and trying to reach frantically on time, and then to repent afterwards, can be harnessed and channelled into working towards being punctual.
Being accountable towards one’s tardiness, when the consequences like the loss of a job, or a major client, can spur a person into breaking the internal denial about their lateness being something tolerable by others.
