Being right is over-rated anyhoo

It sounds a bit new-agey, but if you can reframe the thing that you have a problem with, so that it causes you less stress, so much the better. It doesn’t have to be ‘right’ when you refocus, it just has to make you feel better (or happy, as per this blog title).

For example – if a client totally flies off the handle about something minor, instead of being all wounded or snippy in return, I try to reframe the situation – maybe they’ve got something else, much worse, that they’re having to deal with in their real life; maybe I’ve misunderstood them; maybe they’ve got a point!

Anything that you can do to keep stress levels down and therefore creativity levels up must be a winner
