Feelings are weather reports, not orders. You can notice the storm without driving into it.

An emotion is information about your state, and it arrives with a strong suggestion attached that can feel like an instruction. You can accept the information while declining the suggestion, and most of what people call steadiness is exactly that. Feeling something fully and acting on it immediately are two different steps.

When something strong arrives this week, name it to yourself and then wait ten minutes before doing anything. Anger, dread, the urge to cancel everything. Let the report come in, and make the decision from the far side of it.
