Would you rather get bad news while sitting on a beach in Hawaii or while on a rainy drive home from work?
The correct answer is the beach in Hawaii.
At the beach it’s easier to focus on the facts of the bad news and not the emotion of it. Because your emotions are being ‘distracted’ by the beautiful water and waves and sun and pina coladas.
On the rainy drive home it’s easier to blow it all out of proportion.
The trick is to develop a beach response while on a rainy drive home.
