Brooke, happy new year! I would love your help with this model. I am taking some time off and went into my emails to grab something. I inmediately felt anxious and frustrated at multiple emails requesting a response (three people emailed me twice) when we sent a pre-holiday email announcing my schedule and I have an auto response set. Here is my model:

C- checked my email and people emailed me more than once
T- why are they emailing me requesting an asap response when they were told that I’m out of office
F- anxious
A- my heart is racing and I continue with anxiety when dealing with my inbox
R- (I raced out of my inbox?)

C- checked my email and people emailed me more than once
T- they have a lot going on and overlooked my out of office emails
F- compassion
A- I am becoming a person who doesn’t take thus personal
R- I don’t create unnecessary anxiety for myself and I am more understanding of the competing demands of the people emailing me.
