I want to fix my running away habit

I have a habit of throwing everything away and running away when I'm stuck.
They tend to take themselves into difficult situations, whether they are the type that starts the engine when cornered to a certain extent, or whether they like a cramped lifestyle.
If you confront it without running away, it usually goes the way you want, and things are easier than you think, but 80% say “I don't want it anymore!” They throw it away and run away.
I don't like it! I wish I could move forward without thinking, but I'm wasting a lot of time until I feel like that.
What should I do to be able to confront situations without running away from them and without feeling displeased?

5 Zen Responses

An honest type who doesn't like bad things and likes what they like

Think about how to proceed as expected before you get sick.
“What to do first”
“Are there any things that are about to be done?”
Make a habit of thinking things like that.
And they do five times as many checks as humans. To that end, increase the speed of confirmation.
Also, write a memo where you can see it, whether it's on paper or a sticky note, and stick it up.
hang the memo and pen from your neck in a way that is as inconspicuous as possible,
Practice preparing to quickly write down things you're likely to forget.

If you don't feel like it, do a lot of abdominal breathing through your nose
Take deep breaths and try to stay as calm as possible.
does it look like it can be done?

㊙ Ukon no Kamisama

(-” -) Is it finally time that we have to talk about this... Be careful reading below.
What I was baptized at the Zen training dojo was cleaning the toilet.
Let's talk about the five toilet gods I met there.
① After cleaning the toilet, the first person said, “It's not dirty. If you wash them, your hands will be clean!” They told me that.
“Oh, I see,” thought the young young monk Eun-ge (me).
② The second person said to me, who was cleaning with a brush with a stick, “Don't use that kind of thing, do it this way!” what! I washed the inside of the toilet bowl with just a sponge with my bare hands.
“OH, GREAT” the young monk Eun-ge thought that person who transcended clean and dirty was amazing.
③ When I told that story to a senior monk, they said, “I was made to wash the toilet bowl with my bare hands during our time” and “I was made to lick the toilet seat for confirmation.” The “OH, crazy” young man Eun-ge went beyond his feelings of respect and sneered lightly. (laughing place)
④ A god called “Usama Myouo” is enshrined at the entrance of the toilet.
Don't you think the toilet is a dirty place full of poop? Whose was it originally and where was it? The life I received. Where is a clean and dirty mind? It explains that it is the heart that surpasses cleanness and bitterness that is the Buddha's heart and pure heart.
This is true of everything.
“I don't like my job, I don't like that guy, good or bad, I'm telling you to learn that when you leave all your worries behind, flush bad things, and forget to read, there's no problem with the toilet in your mind.
According to the Zen teaching that when facing things, do what you should do by bowing your hands together with that kind of feeling
“OH, that's right,” I thought.
⑤ The Last God
However, when I was vigorously jabbing and washing the Western-style toilet bowl at my parents' temple, I was bathed in dirty water. “Wow,” I got used to it and thought it would be fine, but my mind was disturbed. But while remembering things from ① to ④ that you can't get clean when you rest your hands, you jabjab and mindlessly move your hands, saying, “What is the truth?” ... that's the time!
It was I, who was moving my hands thoughtlessly, that I realized that everything clean, dirty, and stupid had been forgotten!
“Oh, is this the heart that left likes and dislikes, the heart before clean and dirty was born!”
“OH MY GOD” At that time, I first understood the true meaning of the god of toilets.
We were so thankful that we put our hands together. With those hands with a bow on it.

You're in your 20s. It's a privilege of youth!

 When I looked at Mimizuku's post, I saw that she was a wonderful person who was similar and different from me. Your attitude, isn't this someone who practices the famous quote “Dentsu Oniju Nori,” which I met a long time ago?
1. Jobs should be created by oneself, not given to them.
2. Work is about working first and foremost, and it's not something you do passively.
3. I can work on big jobs, and small jobs make me smaller.
4. You can aim for difficult jobs, and progress is in getting this done.
5. Once you work on it, don't let go, don't let go even if you're killed, until you've completed your goal...
6. You can drag the surroundings around, and by being dragged and being dragged, you can open up heaven and earth over a long period of time.
7. Having a plan and having a long-term plan creates patience, ingenuity, and proper effort and hope.
8. You have confidence, and since you don't have confidence, your work isn't powerful, tenacious, or even bold.
9. The head always rotates all the time, pays attention in all directions, and there must be no gap; service is like that.
10. Don't be afraid of friction; friction is the mother of progress and positive fertilizer; otherwise, you will be despicable.
If this can be put into practice, wouldn't he be a perfect worker or member of society? I'm lamenting that number 5 isn't enough, but the day will always come when you get allies from those around you for your work. Let's just stick to it. More than because of character restrictions.

“Running away” is not a “bad thing”

Mimizuku-sama

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

Regarding “escapes,” there are good escapes and bad escapes, and of course abandonment of responsibility or abandonment of betrayal is not OK, but I think we should uniformly think that all “escapes” are bad.

Sometimes “running away” is also instinctive risk avoidance behavior. I think the following article will be helpful in this regard.

Is “running away” a bad thing? ―Psychiatry that is often directed at people who don't like it
http://diamond.jp/articles/-/3889

I would like you to think that “escapism” = “bad thing” is not too much, that it is necessary to think about times, situations, and situations, and that there are also good “escapes.” There is also a story called “It's like running away with 36 measures.”

If Mimizuku-sama thinks somewhere that maybe he wants to run away, there is also a possibility that it's not something he actually wants to do, something fun for him, or that he thinks it's worth spending time.

If that is the case, it may be necessary to change jobs, take new initiatives, and plan the next development without overdoing it. Maybe it's a chance to listen to the true voice of the heart.

For example, it is a matter of continuing to deny “escape” as instinctive risk avoidance behavior, and eventually overdoing it becomes a mental illness, or you must drive yourself into nothing.

After understanding the above, there is also a summary that can be used as a reference as shown below for the time being, so please take a look.

“This is how the habit of running away can be overcome”

The content of Mr. Tange's answer is an easy-to-understand explanation of the first item in particular.

Anyway, first of all, I think it would be nice if you could face your actual self once again and aim for a solution without thinking too much about “running away” = “bad thing.”

Let's have a good image

To Mimizuku-sama

The fact that they throw 80% away and run away
You mean the remaining 20 percent haven't escaped.
It was in the sentence
“If you stand up without running away, things will usually go the way you want, and things will be easier to complete than you think.”
I think it's important to have that image.

Surprisingly, I think there are more things that can be done than expected. Gassho
