@ashley43725 I find peace in you share.
That’s the exact process i go through.
Thank you- Im not alone and thats important for me to remember that my case is not unique.
Only thing is yesterday i didn't practice finding a quiet place and decompress.
Instead i not only expressed my thoughts to the person that wouldn’t quit talking after bursting into the office, even after i said “please give me a minute” as i was crunching numbers from a long list of reoccurring values.
But i expressed it with frustration and anger.
I ended up walking out of my office just to get away.
☹️. This is not who i am or who i have been.

@craigbyrom
Do you have any hobbies?
I build scale models, ships, aircraft and such. I built a 1/350 scale model of the Titanic that took a year. I turn on the radio so it plays in the background and let myself get absorbed in my current project (a 1/24 scale Japanese zero) . I find that concentrating on one thing lets my mind relax. I only play at my hobby for an hour or so and leave feeling refreshed mentally. It really works for me and I really look forward to it after a day at work. I block everything else out during MY TIME.
