When something we wanted, planned or agreed hasn't worked out
And we end up feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, angry or wronged
How are we going to deal with those feelings?
Shout at someone, go for a run, or stew or grumble until you fizzle out?
When these emotions are building up we have a choice to let it continue or not
Really, the choice is there.
If we could step back and see the hamster wheel of reaction
If something happens that we don't like we frequently jump straight onto the hamster wheel and escalate a reaction
But once we realise that there is a point when we choose to jump on the hamster wheel it is possible to not jump on the wheel and find a new outlet or just wait
So next time we are reacting, we have a choice
Try a different one:
Stop, skip the hamster wheel, accept what's happened and focus on resolving it.
