An idea on how you could

Cognitive dissonance has me in a spin, two opposing thoughts. I question who’s going to win. So I let logic and reason slowly creep in, and bingo, one of them is subdued.

Oh no, but what’s that now knocking at my door? It’s anxiety and anguish returning from their tour. Their gifts unwelcome fill my headspace, so I call out for calmness and serenity to take their place. It takes a long time for them to arrive but first comes acceptance, and gradually I begin to thrive.

So the next time cognitive dissonance has me in its grips, I am going to bypass logic and reason, just for kicks.
