Are you ever in a tough spot where you feel whatever you say will just make the situation worse? Like having to friends who are always clashing? Or a decision that has been made that you can’t be excited about for fear of hurting another person? Or wanting to comfort someone but being too scared of saying the wrong thing so you say nothing?
On these occasions I feel cornered, wanting to escape to a dream world where everything is easier. But escaping to a fantasy land will not help things get any better, which is something I continue to struggle with. What do should you do in these situations? I’m still trying to figure out the answer for that.
I enjoy sitting and thinking about the problem in front of me; calculating every option and deciding on the best one. But when placed in a “in the moment” decision I freeze unsure of what to say, my mind trying to stop time to give me time to contemplate the perfect answer. I guess I really need to work on quick decision making. Too bad that’s not exactly something you can easily practice. Thankfully since it is a quick moment that means if you do mess up, it can also be quickly forgiven! So y’all try not to sweat the small stuff!
Question for the Day:
What do you do in these moments?
