I am tired of being so angry and since the world lost the memo, I have to try not to freak out when things don’t go as planned.

During my “yearly review” at work, I received feedback that:
- I had ‘completely changed my outlook and my approach to the rest of my colleagues’
- My senior manager had ‘received feedback from quite a few people’ that I was a lot more approachable and positive.
It’s a lot easier to get through your day, if you don’t react negatively to things. Not everyone has an agenda!

Managing to “turn away from the dark side” according to people at work, which I consider to be good feedback.
It’s becoming increasingly easy to respond constructively rather than react negatively, although it takes a measure of self-control at times…
The easiest approach seems to be to find a way to say “i’ll think about it and get back to you”.
And I have successfully been able to respond, rather than react to the situation. The big thing for me has been to take time, (always at least overnight, often much, much longer) before weighing in when my thoughts and feelings are negative.
When I react out of anger or fear, my choices are universally bad, and having this knowledge is very powerful. In a nutshell, I need to do the George Costanza “opposite thing” when I’m angry.
