It is really something to look back over a period of time and see how one’s perspective can change. I am looking at a work situation from a much bigger perspective now than I did 6 months ago. Had to get through my own emotional process, one I am quite familiar with, with being angry my initial default reaction. The real cure for me, beyond owning my feelings, (I’m beginning to think for just about anything) is talking to another person about the situation, and assimilating other perspectives. Sharing with someone else and hearing their thoughts keeps me in the flow, and moving along. Isolation for me can lead to stuckness. The whole process of giving and receiving is interrupted, and movement can cease. I am reminded of the old saying of ” The mind is like a dangerous neighborhood, you should never go in there alone.”
I know there is a time for introspection, and I generally give myself that. Reconnecting with the flow is what I can strengthen to have the greatest benefit for all concerned.
