Respond Rather Than React

When we’re having difficult conversations, our ability to notice how we’re feeling can help us better listen and learn from each other. Today's meditation shows you how to ground yourself, use compassion, and thoughtfully navigate a tough talk.

Takeaways:

1- The more you can notice what you need from a conversation, the better you can navigate it.

2- We can hit pause when we hear something we don't like and think through how we want to respond.

3- As you pause, take a deep breath and notice how you're feeling. Remember to use all that compassion already inside of you.

Daily Mantra: I allow myself to pause and respond.
