Assess Your Behaviour

Tags

When people feel they have lost control over their lives, they sometimes compensate by becoming overly critical of people and things around them.

It’s important to recognize if you have this tendency. It may be an indication that you’re feeling overwhelmed and need to seek help.

Look for Work

AHS Mental Health Services

Alberta Health Services provides help for people struggling with a mental health problem. The Mental Health Helpline is available 24/7 at 1-877-303-2642.






















Look back at the statements you checked, or review them with someone you trust to be honest with you. Is your behaviour excessive? Is it destructive or self-defeating? Is it interfering with your ability to move on with your life?

If your answers are yes, consider seeking support and guidance from a mental health professional or a counsellor.

Think about each of the statements you checked. How is your behaviour affecting the people around you? What can you do to change? How can you replace self-defeating or destructive behaviours with more constructive ones?

Write down the statements you checked off in Question 1. For each statement, think of at least 2 positive behaviours you could engage in instead.

+ Add Activity

Revisit your list from time to time. What new behaviours have you incorporated into your life? What behaviours do you still need to work on? Do you feel you’re making progress?
