Don't fight your feelings

Feelings are like thoughts, but stronger.

Some feelings can’t be ignored; because they will come back to haunt you and make you miserable until you address them.

If you have such a feeling about anything, tend to it right away.

Don’t keep it to yourself, because it will hurt you even more if you stash away your feelings for too long and then have them accumulate and erupt after a long time.

The first step is to ensure that you don't act on impulse the moment you get that feeling.

Take a few deep breaths and calm yourself.

Then take a step back to observe what you felt.

Become aware of it.

Ask why you felt that way and if there is a better way to react which could be positive for everyone involved.

Then act with clarity and swiftness, and try not to hurt anyone else in the process.

But remember that you can’t please everyone.
