TODAY'S LEARNING
Learn to Respond, Not React

The main thing to learn is mindfulness and the pause.

Mindfulness means watching ourselves when something happens that might normally upset us or trigger some kind of emotional reaction. Pay close attention to how our minds react.

Then pause. We don’t have to act immediately, just because we have an internal reaction. We can pause, not act, breathe. We can watch this urge to act irrationally arise, then let it go away. Sometimes that takes a few seconds, other times it means we should remove ourselves politely from the situation and let ourselves cool down before we respond.

Pause.

Watch the reaction go away.

Now consider what the most intelligent, compassionate response might be. What can we do that will help our relationship, teach, build a better team or partnership, make the situation better, calm everyone down, including ourselves?

At first, you might mess up. But in time, you’ll learn to watch this reaction, and you’ll get better at the pause. Don’t fret if you mess up — just resolve to be more mindful when it happens next time. Take note of what happened to trigger your reaction, and pay attention when something like that happens again.

Be mindful, pause, then consider a thoughtful, compassionate response.

About: Reacting and responding represent two distinct approaches to situations, and understanding the difference between them can significantly alter the outcome. When we react, it is often in an instinctive manner, influenced by our immediate emotions, which can sometimes lead to impulsive actions. On the other hand, responding involves more thoughtful consideration before taking action, taking into account not only our own emotions but also the perspectives of others. The ability to consciously choose between reacting and responding can enhance the quality of our interactions, promote more effective communication, and contribute to more balanced and fulfilling relationships. Recognizing this distinction and developing the capacity to respond thoughtfully can positively influence our relationships and foster personal growth.
