Your week ahead: As you've just learned, a political solution is much easier than one involving conflict or force, particularly if you're fighting yourself. The thing with political means is that they often involve compromise, and that which you're most likely to compromise on at the moment is something that's quite essential to who you are. I suggest you set the terms of your negotiation in advance, with yourself, so you've got a short list of the issues you're willing to trade and exchange. Meanwhile, there's another factor involved of which no party to the discussion is likely to be aware at the moment, but you're going to be the first to notice. It falls under the general heading of "why this discussion is so important," and I trust you'll recognize it when you see it.
