Just like the spelling which is a mouth/earful, its a difficult skill to master.
It is about keeping emotions regarding specific items into specific categories/compartments so that they are only picked upon when thinking about the specific category.
Soldiers who come back from war, having seen terrible tragedies/trauma are taught this skill to handle Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Why is that relevent to us?
Each of us go through tough situations in life and business that make us feel weak in the knees/unable to address the stress they cause/find them to be all -encompassing.
It only debilitates us to the extent that we cannot attend to other facets of life.
This is why compartmentalisation is such a key skill. It teaches you to 'box them in' so that each box is separate and you are still opening other boxes of life and not be stuck with one.
while its not easy, its a better alternative to getting defeated by a single box!
