If it\u2019s urgent they will call again and I answer but generally you gain an extra day. Putting off answering the phone makes it harder the longer you put it off. Sometimes it\u2019s better to just answer the phone!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Qu Rio W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well it depends on the situation. If it\u2019s from a non-business related person that I simply don\u2019t have the energy to deal with,  I will usually abort the incoming call and send a text message right back indicating when a better time would be.<\/p>\n<p> If it\u2019s from someone that I would rather not talk to, or feel the urge to avoid, I would text them back and say something like: \u201cI am tending to my self-care right now.  And feel like it would be better for us to talk when I feel more centered.  If you could honor that by sending me an email or a letter instead, I would greatly appreciate it.\u201d <\/p>\n<p> Then, I will try to examine why I feel the urge to avoid this person. And get myself sorted out first. <\/p>\n<p> Also, it can also help reduce tensions when people are given the opportunity to write down their thoughts. So the invitation of an email exchange is helpful in that regard. <\/p>\n<p>Above all, I always aim for 100% honesty. And try to do so in a way that honors the others person\u2019s humanity and feelings.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ad Le T.
