I do not pause, I distract by scrolling, watching videos, crying or trying to sleep. Yes, I struggle with negativity bias. I have forgotten your third question so of course, I cry.
Pausing is powerful, but can be hard to do when you are stuck or spiraling. That's why practicing helps. If you practice pausing when things are easy, you have something to access when things are hard. Crying is good, it's a release, but it doesn't always get to the root of the problem unless there is also awareness. I feel your struggle, numbing is such a "comfortable" default. But numbing also keeps you stuck. Sending hugs.
