Pendulum’s have a way about them.
From one side to other, swinging with all their inertia, and slamming against the other side before replicating its emphatic movement in the opposite direction.
Sometimes it feels like my emotions are a pendulum too…
It depends on the day, but I notice that whatever the last stimulus, data, or messaging is, it tends to win out in the immediate term.
Some unexpected cost, problem, or issue swings my emotional pendulum wayward.
I am working on moderating this swing.
I am working on understanding how to perhaps swing less forcefully…
I’d be interested in what you do when you feel your pendulum swing…
After all, stories are examples of solutions.
