Become less reactive and more responsive

Let’s talk about two ways we can think and act: reactive and responsive. When we’re reactive, things feel stressful. We get upset easily, judge quickly, and take things personally. It’s like being in a bad mood all the time.

When we’re reactive, we make decisions too fast and often regret them later. We might annoy others and not even realize it. And when good things come our way, we might miss them because we’re too busy feeling grumpy.

But being responsive is different. It’s like being in a good mood. We’re relaxed, see the big picture, and don’t take things too personally. Instead of being stubborn, we’re flexible and calm. In this mode, we’re at our best. We make others feel good and solve problems easily. And when something good comes our way, we’re open to it.

Once we realize there are these two ways of being, we can start noticing which one we’re in. We’ll see that when we’re reactive, we act kind of silly and negative. But when we’re responsive, we’re cool and smart. So let’s try to be more responsive and less reactive!
