Change 1 Choice And You Can Change It All!

What has you ready to yell, pound the table, rant and shout?Most often we have that type of reaction as a diversion from the feeling of embarrassment over how we think we’ll be perceived. So take a quiet moment and ask yourself

“What is it about this situation that embarrasses me?”

When you let yourself name it you’ll see you actually have some choices. One is to dive into all those rages and deflections. Another is to find someone to blame, yet another skillful deflection.

And another choice is to use the embarrassment to focus your attention on the particular element of the problem that is most sensitive to you and use THAT to direct the action you’ll take to straighten matters out.

The first two choices stop everything dead in their tracks.The last one moves it all forward to resolution!
