Have you ever noticed how different a problem can look after you've had some space from it?

Nothing necessarily changed.

The conversation still happened.
The decision still needs to be made.
The circumstance may still be exactly what it was.

What changed was the state of mind you were looking at it from.

Your perspective changes as your mind settles.

Sometimes we don't need another hour of thinking.
We need enough space to see what we couldn't see while our mind was busy trying to solve everything.
