Need for Freedom
Strategies:
Go on walk
I know you probably hear it a lot.. but going on a walk really can make a fascinating difference.
Play a video game
There is such a wide diversity of video games out there. Calming exploratory games, puzzle games, combat, story, single or multiplayer, etc. Once I get in touch with the need that is alive in me it’s fun to look for a game or game genre that might tend specifically to that.
Road trip
Long or short it doesn't matter. Drive around the block in silence or with music. Maybe plan a trip somewhere.
Make a request in conversation
Often in conversation if I’m hearing something as a demand I say something like “I’m needing some autonomy I think because I’d like to be free to disagree but I’m afraid that might sound to you like criticism.” It’s not perfect but it’s something to honor what’s alive in me.
