I love this! Well done! I read a book that one of my professors published on conflict resolution. It was as boring as wallpaper paste! But there is this one statement that was worth the whole book: “Avoidance increases your pain.“
Mind you, I can be an Olympic class procrastinator and avoid-er! But when I realized it was just increasing my pain, amplifying the problem instead of resolving it, that went along way towards me learning to pay attention when I was tempted to avoid, and instead bite the bullet to resolve the issue that was causing me anxiety!
