Here’s another way to deal with negativity. Likely it works. She is a motivational speaker.

If I don’t know what to do or don’t have a clear sense of my path, I wait. (That’s not to say I sometimes don’t wait and act precipitously.)

How about you?

Karin

I was having a conversation with a radio show host the other day and he asked me:

“Peggy how do you handle overwhelm or eliminate worry?”
The answer came to me in a flash.
I said: “I take action!” “I do something.”

I have found that when I take action toward solving a challenge, or toward achieving a particular outcome, it
always eliminates any negative feelings; such as overwhelm or worry. Peggy McColl
