The tool I lean on the most is my ability to adopt multiple perspectives at once. I might be 'stuck' in a particular mood or frame of mind. Shifting over to another perspective and seeing through an alternate lens helps me to see my mood is not my only truth. Sometimes I am really polarized. In those cases it helps if I first see through the eyes of neutrality and then shift over to an alternate perspective.

Once I can see through more than one lens it helps me to know my particular situation isn't one I have to be stuck in.

I'm used to working primarily in teams and having to support everyone's ideas and weave them together. I find a similar approach toward working with myself and my various moods is helpful.
