Yes, I have. I used to binge eat snacks, doom scroll on social media, and play excessive video games whenever I messed up. Although I still play video games now only in moderation. Earlier I used to play for 8-9 hours continuously. Almost every day I had some snacks or the other. All these were a deadly combination that led to my mental health spoiling even more. I was not doing anything for the betterment of my then situation and kept blaming everyone. I was just going with the flow.
Then I decided to cut down my screen time and do something productive. I forced myself to stop using my phone, stop playing games, and reduce my snack intake. I stopped staying in my room and stayed upstairs so that I could focus on my studies. I played at least an hour every day. It was tough to cut it down from 9 hours to one hour, but I got it done after practice. I only used my phone when it was absolutely necessary and kept snacking to a minimum. None of them were easy but with perseverance, I lost my bad coping mechanisms.

In families, there will always be a generational gap. In many cases, we will not understand our parents’ perspectives and they will not understand ours. We must politely and amicably provide our parents with our sides. It is a collaboration, we can say. Parents must acknowledge that their children are growing up in an environment different from what theirs had been. We must also learn to agree to disagree sometimes. It is not a parents vs children fight.
Emotional intelligence from both parties can be exemplified by understanding where each person is coming from. A difference in opinion between a parent and their child is very common. A peaceful resolution to the conflict is the true sign of respect between not only a parent and their children but also among humans altogether. Through emotional intelligence, we can generate self-awareness among ourselves and know each other on a whole new level. Of course, there will be respect between a child and the parent, not to mention love, but we would understand our shortcomings. Our dynamics will go up a notch or two and the lines of communication will open up even more.
