This is where we think before we speak. If your world feels upside down, now is not the time to name names or make decisions, but to calm down and withdraw from a very toxic situation. Constant tension breaks even the most resilient person. Frazzled and restless, you need to heal your mind and body before the next shit show piles on. Create a safe space away from others where nothing is going on. away Take a vow of silence, a day off work, or enjoy a steak dinner at the strip club. Do whatever is necessary to rest, reevaluate your life, and recharge your spirit. Solitude after a painful loss can be difficult, so bring all the sweatpants you want. Others think they will never see you again, but you will actually emerge with greater concentration, inner strength, and confidence.
