Why do I fear my Email?
Every morning is a mental struggle. The email icon on my task bar haunts me as it stands out amongst all the others. There is no real reason for me to fear it. I've never really had a bad email, aside from spam.
I fear the email from my clients. It's not as if a client has ever threatened me or even sent me bad news. My body tenses as it prepares for the worst, whatever that may be. This dubious battle happens every day of the week. Sometimes I wait for several hours before clicking on that little email icon. I even get up from my chair and walk away while my computer downloads the mail.
Sadly, this dysfunction of mine flows to voice mail as well (and, to a lesser extent, actual phone calls). On many occasions I allow pending voice mails to sit for days (yes…. DAYS) before listening to it!
The stress I feel is palpable. What is wrong with me?
