I had a situation at work where I had personal and professional issues with someone I had to deal with. I was having a very difficult time separating my feelings for him from everything else I had to do.

I realized I had created a lot of the drama in my mind. When I look at just the facts of what happened, the experience shared by everyone involved, not just the emotional experience I have had because of it, the appropriate course of action is more clear.

I also find myself holding back A LOT more, in terms of talking about my feelings. They may or may not be justified. They may or may not be helpful, considerate, warranted or wanted by others. Those others may not be in an emotional position to hear my concerns, they may not have any power to "fix" what I'm asking them to fix, there may not be anything real to fix!

Hold back and wait and see if when the feelings level off a little bit, things don't become a little more clear and straight forward. Make decisions from a calm place.
