Sometimes writing a model is so clarifying and insight-giving. But my model today stumps me with knowing what to do with it.

C: Government agency imposing restrictions on my business
T: It’s so unfair
F: angry
A: rehearse a detailed list of why it’s unfair; spend time thinking about it should be instead of how it actually is; think about how they are idiots
R: I still feel it’s unfair

I have a second model which has me taking action:

C: Government agency imposing restrictions on my business
T: we are going to figure this out
F: determined
A: call the trade commissioned; work with our industry association; create a plan B with managers
R: cultivating multiple options for resolution

The second model is my daytime model. The first model is my nighttime model.

Do I just need to allow the angry feelings to come in the evening? Not work to make them go away but rather to allow them? Then keep doing the daytime work?
