For February 2024 several of us will be participating in the “30-Day RE Coach4aday Challenge”. The challenge involves utilizing a word that includes the prefix Re. Today my word is RECUR.

When the same negative situations or experiences continue to RECUR, a range of emotions may emerge. These emotions can vary and might include some from the list below.

  1. Frustration: Dealing with the same issues repeatedly can lead to frustration, as individuals may feel stuck or unable to break free from a cycle.
  2. Boredom: The monotony of recurring events can evoke feelings of boredom, as the predictability may fail to stimulate interest or engagement.
  3. Annoyance: Continuous repetition of certain situations may lead to annoyance, as individuals may find the recurrence disruptive or irritating.
  4. Exasperation: Facing the same challenges or obstacles repeatedly can result in a sense of exasperation, characterized by heightened frustration and weariness.
  5. Resignation: Over time, individuals may develop a sense of resignation, accepting the inevitability of the recurring events even if they find them undesirable.

There is a quote that leaders and teams often have to be reminded of. If you keep doing the same things over and over but believe the outcomes will change you are insane. Nobody wants to be insane but many of us refuse to change behaviors, thoughts, or circumstances. Change is not easy but refusing to do it means we cannot grow or improve.

Addressing and stopping negative emotions from recurring involves a combination of self-awareness, proactive strategies, and sometimes seeking support. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Identify Triggers:
    • Recognize the specific situations, people, or thoughts that trigger negative emotions.
    • Understanding the triggers helps you anticipate and prepare for them.
  2. Self-Reflection:
    • Explore the underlying reasons for the recurring negative emotions.
    • Identify any patterns, beliefs, or thought processes contributing to these emotions.
  3. Challenge Negative Thoughts:
    • Practice cognitive restructuring by challenging and changing negative thought patterns.
    • Replace irrational or negative thoughts with more realistic and positive ones.
  4. Mindfulness and Meditation:
    • Engage in mindfulness and meditation practices to stay present and reduce the impact of negative thoughts.
    • Mindfulness helps create a mental space between you and your emotions.
