Often people will approach us at work or wherever with their drama and may say something like, "So and so is driving me nuts and they did this and that. What do you think I should do?" Then, we respond right away which gets us hooked into a conversation that is not worthy of our valuable life-minutes. This is because we have been conditioned to "catch the ball" and we have become disconnected from the idea that this is, in fact, a choice. We can politely step out of this current, thereby reducing our own stress and navigating our day in a more positive direction. It's ok to drop the ball.
