Almost always, when there is a problem, we tend to focus too much on it. This intensifies our negativity, our rage, worsening the situation.
Yesterday my child has fallen into a game-Morris (Story City) by downloading a "app" free dall'iPad, which contained in fact a game fee. Unaware that the claims were related to the game for real money, has taken $ 500 by credit card. A vile found to cheat the children, of which I am surprised that Apple is tricky business.
You can imagine the mood of my disappointment and my wife while activating the channels available for resolving the problem (with Apple's customer care virtually non-existent). In these moments really negativity can easily take over.
So what? The answer is: zoom out. Expand the field.
When you have a problem, restricting the scope of the problem is useless. Lose the perception of reality. You must put the problem in a broader perspective, to recover balance and ability to judge. Zoom out. Ok, we risk losing $ 500. But enlarging the field: no one was hurt, nobody lost their job, your house is still there.
Zooming out helps to debate this issue again with greater confidence. Remember, now that you're going to come back from holidays and re-examined the problems in the workplace. Zoom out.
