There’s not much good in people who linger.
A person who has overstayed their welcome is not a good situation. A group that stays at a restaurant after their official closed hours is no good. A micromanager, well, micromanaging beyond when they are needed is no good, either.
While we’re good at recognizing when people linger (and doing what we can to keep them moving on their way), we’re terrible at recognizing when thoughts linger.
We bask in frustration. We sulk in our mistakes. We hang onto moments of failure or disappointment.
If we could treat the negative lingering feelings like we do people, we’ll all be better off.
Stay Positive & Let Them Linger No More
