Dealing with manipulative, emotionally reactive people.

[7thLetter]

I’ve gotten to a point in my life where I can say I’ve emotionally detached myself from a lot of things in my life. Over the past couple years I’ve gained a lot more self-acceptance, and more acceptance of the things around me. But how do I reach the next level?

I admit it, I’m not fully there yet, and I’ve got a bit of a manipulative, loud, and emotionally reactive chinese boss/manager at work that gets a bit tough to deal with. I do pretty well with not yelling and reacting to her overreactions, but her reactions sort of get to my mind and it bothers me. She makes a big deal about the smallest things, and a lot of the time its an assumption created in her mind. “WHY YOU DO THIS?!” “I didn’t?” “Oh never-mind.”

How can I reach the next level in my detachment to external situations like this and deal with this person more effectively?

An option is keep working on your consciousness muscle, by meditating for instance. Hard Work x Time = Next Level.
