Got that agitated feeling?
Can't concentrate, flitter from one thing to the next, things going round and round in the mind?
When we start to get emotional but we can't resolve it we can often end up agitated
Being agitated is tiring, ineffective and not a nice place to be
Learning to move ourselves from that agitated feeling to a calm space is a skill we can develop
First step identify why, not only the topic or interaction but also the emotional response such as, feeling let down or ignored
Then ask if it really matters, if no, we're done!
If yes, understand why and what you can do to help yourself with it
Sometimes just looking after oneself, practising acceptance or reevaluating our assumptions about a situation will help, etc, other times it's more than one action.
Either way we're trying to shift our perspective from an emotional, child like response to a pragmatic, adult response so we can resolve the issue as much as possible
And calm down!
