I learned over the years working in software that once hung up on something to just switch gears to something else. Then when I come back to it an hour or two later, I usually figure out the issue right away. I keep trying to get better at reminding myself to switch gears for a bit whenever I get trapped in the mundane. The really cool thing about getting better at this skill is you can become almost immune to being anxious or a slave to whatever it is. I switch gears and come back later it's 99.9% not the end of the world, I just needed a moment. 🙂
I love how you discovered this insight by observing and experimenting in your own life. That's the way to do it. As far as I know, all of life is tinkering. When it's a tough day, I go to sleep and wake up renewed.

Great insights, Christine. I couldn't agree more with the problem you highlighted and your solution.
