Which One Of Those Am I Dealing With?
When you’re facing a situation next, try to ask yourself, Which One Of Those Am I Dealing With?
It helps you detach and see more clearly.
If you’re very emotional about a person or subject, you’re less likely to think clearly about it.
Asking this question will reinforce the idea that you’re not the only one dealing with this and that it’s not a unique situation that you alone are facing. Once you start seeing that, it’ll become easier to distance yourself from the situation as well as reduce any potential anxiety or tension rising from what’s happening.
You will realize that many people before you have faced the same thing before and have ultimately dealt with it in some way. Maybe another person is facing the same exact situation at that very moment.
Keeping this in mind helps us remove the ego from the equation and make it easier for you to search for relevant frameworks and mental models to make better and more rational decisions.
