No Drama, Please: Stop the Loop

When you find yourself getting angry at someone or frustrated by a situation, ask yourself:

"Is my response—and the time I’m investing in it—really worth my energy?"

You may have experienced something genuinely hurtful or frustrating. It is natural to feel that sting; it certainly caused you pain.

However, your response and the time you spend dwelling on that person or topic in your mind will define how much value and attention you choose to give it.

Let it pass. Choose to minimize your suffering. You don’t have to inhabit that pain.

If you let it go, it becomes a brief moment that soon belongs to the past. 

If you hold onto it, you are deciding to stay in the pain, prolonging it with your own attention and energy.

Your energy is your most valuable currency. Stop spending it on things that no longer exist.
