~ How Do You Handle the Emotional Roller Coaster? ~
In our business of real estate, we can go through a gamut of emotions, 
happiness, sadness, frustration, joy, disappointment, relief, rejection, fear (yes, fear) and sometimes nervousness all within a short time span, sometimes even within a matter of minutes. It may even feel like a hormonal imbalance.
Have you ever ridden the roller coaster ride of emotions in a matter of just a few seconds? How did you handle yourself? Are you like the boiling tea kettle blowing your top? Do you take it all in and bury your frustration? Do you follow a 10 minute rule so as not to over react to a situation? Do you say whatever comes to mind? Do you respond differently to a client vs. another agent? Or do you sit down, review the situation and try to resolve the problem? Do you even know?
Often times disappointment can be hiding around the corner or lurking in the shadows just waiting to hit you by surprise. It turns that corner when we least expect it or are able to handle the news gracefully. In our industry, we need to be ready for whatever may come. It's a juggling act; maintaining our calm demeanor while we get hit with, "I lost my job" a week before closing. Or finding out that you didn't get the listing you worked so hard for.
I have been a marriage counselor, a financial, planner, a mother figure, a sister, a daughter, a cheerleader, a pillar of strength, the bearer of bad news and the hero of a transaction in the 18 years I have been a REALTOR(R). I don't always get to choose the hat I wear, but I do try to stay in control of my emotions.
I enjoy roller coasters, but not emotional ones!
