Continuing a clearing out of broken behaviors. One is I get stuck defending ideas, imagination, and action when someone starts moping about the decline of something or the sad state of things. It's a full on waste of my time and attention and energy and creativity.

Had a deep dive into this with my mens group last night and feeling ready to walkaway. These are great chances to
  • step back and breathe
  • let others keep talking and keep silent
  • change the subject
  • ask: What do you want me to make of that bit of analysis/news? Followed with: let me think about it.
  • Remember my heroes and peeroes who share my take on things.
There lives an industry for dealing with negative people. How sad. r
