Do you shut down?
Does your partner tell you that you zone out?
Do you ‘lose time’ and find that you have been staring at your computer screen and 10 or 15 minutes has gone by and you have done nothing – not read what was before you or responded to it.
I wonder what is going on in your life that is causing it.
Work might just be boring and you are daydreaming.
You might have some heavy decisions to make and feel like a rabbit caught in the headlights.
Perhaps things are strained at the moment between you and your partner or another important person in your life.
Maybe you are not well and fearful for the future.
Or perhaps there is just too much going on and what you’d like to do is run away.
Whatever is causing you to shut down your emotions or thinking, I want to encourage you to contact a doctor, counsellor or coach - whoever would be the best person to help you at this challenging time. As Alexander Pope wrote ‘Hope springs eternal in the human breast’. Sometimes we need another person to help us re-engage in that hope.
