Five Ways to Overcome Avoidance
Today, Ashley and Audrey are discussing avoidance. Who avoids the tough stuff? If you are not comfortable with conflict, you may simply avoid it. Others may find themselves shutting down when they go home because they are avoiding thinking. When there is stress, it is easier to deny the hard truth. Eventually, we will need to deal with the hard truth and overcome our circumstances. The longer we prolong it, the harder it will be.
Question from Instagram | I am struggling with extreme avoidance issues. I grew up in a household where touching yourself is frowned upon. In high school, I had painful sex. Now, I am dating a great guy and looking to overcome my fears.
Advice | Just do it. You are not alone. Are you afraid of failure? Another question you need to ask yourself is, what have you overcome before? Vaginismus is one of the most treatable sexual female health conditions out there. Women who are consistent with their exercises can overcome it.
Another way to overcome your fears is by touching your dilators. Get them unwrapped and rub them against your skin and your thighs. Skin-to-skin contact will teach your body and your brain not to be afraid of the dilators.
Once you figure out what causes your avoidance, then you can learn what you need to overcome it.
Here are some five common ways to cope:
1.) Deep breathing
2.) Taking a moment
3.) Meditation
4.) Prayer
5.) Regular exercise
