Do things feel differently for you at different times of day? I often have more trouble when things are "quiet" like night and am at my best first thing in the morning when the day is new. I noticed it was evening (my time) when you wrote this. Differing perspective don't feel the same to me as different energy levels; I can have energy but my thinking goes haywire sometimes in the dead of afternoon or night when I've worked all morning on my projects and am winding down and there's not as much to "distract" me. I try to remember that at night, that "of course" things look worse to me then, there's nothing I can "do" at that point, no way I can change or affect things that "late."

Sometimes just knowing I'm having a more difficult time than I probably will have in the morning helps me "give up," go to sleep, and wait until morning to work on/worry about things again. I remind myself that it's night/mid-afternoon and not a whole lot is happening for most people (in Latin America they're taking siestas :-) not just me and I can "postpone" whatever is bothering me.
