It is extremely difficult to keep a cold mind when negative and contradictory information comes from everywhere in large quantities. But there is a way not to drown in the flow of your own emotions — psychologist Anastasia Dolganova talks about it.
World news is now of such volume that it can only be processed slowly. They don’t fit inside at once: neither feelings that together sound like “I feel bad,” nor thoughts that really are much more than I can think about at once. My mental state right now is chaos and a tangle that takes time to clear up. Time is the key.
I don’t know what to do now, but in a couple of hours I will know more and be able to make a decision
I don’t know how I feel now, but in a couple of hours I will know more and be able to put it into words. As time goes by, I do what concerns my own life and its continuation.
Here it is important for me not to sketch a new one until the old has been processed. Otherwise, I choke and drown, and it is not clear where the sky is and where the earth is. New — only after stabilization of the old.
And do not multiply evil. To continue to live, in general, has always been the only way.
