Have you ever noticed how mentally draining a problem, a beef, with another can be?  Have you spent a lot of time stewing over what to do or say when you’ve had a disagreement?  There’s only one way to handle that so you can Energize Your UMF! Handle the beef in a timely manner.

Many people have found that matters only get worse when they try to settle the disagreement without taking the time to become less emotional and more rational.  They will sometimes say things they wished they hadn’t in the heat of the moment.  Things that can’t be unsaid.

However, some have spent days and days stewing because they wouldn’t take the initiative to settle things.  If left too long, there is a tendency to start compounding the reason for the disagreement. Other things come to mind that in the past were not a big deal but when added up create a monster problem.

Finding the balance is key to keeping your mind trouble free.  Don’t jump on things when you are reacting emotionally.  Don’t stew over things for days on end.  Take the initiative to clear the air and come to some kind of agreement. Even if it’s only agreeing to disagree.

Leaving things unsaid is a different recipe for disaster. The less you say, the more troubled your thoughts become.  Soon you can’t look that person in the eye for fear they’ll see your upset, animosity, annoyance or whatever else it has become.  Avoidance soon becomes the norm.

The most effective and efficient way to Energize Your UMF! is to tackle difficulties promptly.  That might mean laying low for a time while you sort out how you are going to handle things.  It is important to get your emotions under control so you speak from a state of reason.

You will find that you have more energy when you are at peace with those around you.  Keep short accounts with others. Handle disagreements in a timely manner.  You will be glad you did!
