Does Someone At Work Piss You Off?

Do you have a boss / client / coworker who pisses you off?

Can you not stop thinking about them and how angry they make you?

I wanted to share my favorite way for dealing with a person who makes me angry, and it may seem counterintuitive.

I do a quick meditation focusing on the person's:
  • Wholeness: The person is complete and not "broken."
  • Diversity: The person can react to situations in diverse ways. We celebrate the diversity of our humankind.
  • Resourcefulness: The person is resourceful and can find new solutions to problems.
  • Freedom: People are free to choose how they respond to situations.
  • Possibility: More is possible than you can imagine for this person.

It may feel difficult to imagine this annoying person as "whole" and "resourceful," but try it out. What is possible when you notice these qualities in the person?

For me, I find that this meditation helps me disengage from "fixing" other people.

​While I may still confront them about their behaviors, I am less attached to the outcome. I am also less focused on my ego, and on thinking that I know the "right way" this person should behave.


What does this bring up for you?

This is brilliant. I think it might work for a few other difficult relationships as well. (Ahem family?) It's a beautiful way to see our fellow humans.
