Looking From Above

Emotional and disturbed, we often miss the overview and can’t see what brought us into the situation. Further, we don’t know how best to react. In this case, it is helpful to take a short time-out. Take a deep breath and look at the situation from above, like a helicopter finding a way out of a traffic jam. With distance, you can see what created the tumult, where the blog is, and how to get out of it.

Meditation often has this same effect. Suddenly you see clearer, and with some additional skills, you leave the situation without burning your relationships or creating even more chaos.
