Good to read this.

Its just sometimes so difficult to put what you know into action. There is a person that I sometimes have to deal with, and they just wind me up with their nasty attitudes towards, well, everything. I have learned not to have conflict with him, and to minimise the time I need to spend with him, but I just find him totally toxic, and I have difficulty letting go of the negativity I feel about him. Letting go of negativity. That's an issue, for me.

Because, avoiding conflict is the best, political route, in this case, but the frustrated impulse rankles. Perhaps posting this will help!
