Lynn Toler Instagram – #Panic is the tsunami of #emotional weather. Fueled by #fear, it resists all logic and reason. Eventually, it blinds you to what’s happening right in front of you. Half of the problems I have are a function of my inability to remain calm when faced with new and scary. I’m better now, though. I figured out that in any battle, the first fight I have is always with myself. In order to successfully navigate a situation, I have to get this flighty chick to stop whirling about the edges of whatever catastrophe I have created in my cranium so I can see what the issue really is. #Politians have known this forever. If you can scare the people first you can get them to do anything, even if it’s not in their best interests. Remain calm. Don’t get #angry when annoyed will do. Don’t confront when you have yet to simply inquire. Don’t match energy. Dictate atmosphere with #logic, #kindness and a sprinkle of OLD SCHOOL #adulting. #Grace is never a waste even if it’s not reciprocated. I don’t know how I got here from the phone. I guess it just reminded me of all the time I’ve wasted doing ludicrous things because a chick has so much trouble staying cool. It’s annoying. But I am improving so … All progress should be duly noted. Shoutout @pubity #emotionalintelligence #phone fears.
