Being more analytical about your emotions might sound counterintuitive, but it’s the perfect approach right now, especially since your brain is humming along much more efficiently than your slightly confused heart. Examine any problems you’re dealing with now. Think about them objectively. Put yourself in the position of a judge overseeing the details of a case. Once you remove your own bias from the situation, you will quickly see an easy answer.

Let your imagination go crazy, then go a little crazy right along with it! There’s not much you can’t do now. Make something sweet happen.

If you find yourself having the same conversations with your partner, ask yourself what those patterns are telling you. Maybe there are changes you can make to improve the situation.

No amount of research could have prepared you for today’s situation, but that doesn’t get you off the hook. You’re still obligated to find facts for tomorrow, so dig into the details.
