Reacting

I was reacting last week….

(to be fair - we all are, all the time)

Last week a friend had misunderstood something I said and decided to voice this to other friends.

When I was told about this I wasn't happy.

Because it wasn't true - it was a pure misunderstanding.

I told them this and although they realised their mistake, I started reacting and said they needed to go and clarify with everyone they had complained to.

What’s interesting about this is the fact that I reacted.

It was an emotion (so it happened without conscious thought).

I asked myself about this - I needed to reflect - because it was such a strong reaction.

The clue is in the word “re-action” -

If it was a re-action then that means I have acted this before.

So the question became: when have I acted like this before?

Once you dig into where and why, you begin to understand the current action.

All of our emotions are therefore “re-actions”.

So ask yourself : when was the first “action”?

This will lead you to why it happened this time

Which will lead you to reducing the need to react in future.
