Dealing with Anger According to Context
Sometimes suppression is the only thing you can do to avoid an escalation. And sometimes reappraisal can cause you to tolerate bad situations.
Telling yourself a more compassionate story about what’s going on inside the other person’s head is usually the best way to go.
Lacking a strong WHY
If you're not really interested in doing this thing (goal, project, etc.):

- Find a strong WHY under the surface: If you can’t quit (maybe it's for your job), you need to find a way to think differently about it.
