Did you know that reacting and responding are actually two different things?
Not only that, our emotional experience of any situation depends on which path we choose.
When we react, we engage without deliberate choice. In doing so, it is easy to believe we are at the mercy of our circumstances and what is happening around us.
When we respond, we engage with intention. This allows us to decide purposely what we want to believe, how we want to feel, and what we will do in response.
When we respond we maintain our personal power.
When we react we give our power away.
In this episode I dive into the differences between reacting and responding, and share why it is so important for each of us to learn how to respond with intention.
The quality of your life depends on developing this skill.
Let's go!
