#222: Embrace Your True Self: From Reacting to Responding

Ever walk away from a conversation (or argument 🫣) and feel guilt or shame about how it went down?

YEAAAAA , me neither…. Ok! So, I have way more often than I would like to admit. I think about how the conversation did not reflect my intentions, my character, or how I wanted the other person to feel. I do not want to disrespect or cause harm to people—even in the heat of the moment. 

When we live in our reactions, this is the outcome- disrespect, emotionally charged…misunderstandings….

We can be intentional, empathetic, and compassionate when we live in our responses. We can take the moment to reflect on our values, our hearts, and our intentions. 

 

We don’t have to live in our reactions—our words have power, and we can harness and control them. We can intentionally choose our words to give life and not destroy it. 

In today’s podcast, we talk about reactions vs responses. Let’s do this! 

 

Ready to take action? 

1. Book a Call with Me! 
2. Set a time on your calendar right before our call to take a moment and breathe.  This is the only preparation you'll need. It's that easy!
3.  Join the call and allow your heart to be heard and seen. 

Key Takeaways:

1. Emotional Control: Reacting is driven by immediate emotions, while responding involves thoughtful consideration and choice.
2. Time Factor: Reacting is impulsive and quick, whereas responding requires processing information and emotions before acting.
3. Intentionality: Reacting is automatic and unintentional, while responding is conscious and aligns with core values.
4. Outcome Orientation: Reacting often leads to negative consequences and misunderstandings while responding can result in positive outcomes and effective communication.
5. Impact on Relationships: Reacting can hinder authentic communication and connection, while responding can strengthen relationships, foster respect, and deepen understanding.
6. Purpose-Aligned Living: Cultivating emotional control, taking time to respond, acting intentionally, focusing on positive outcomes, and prioritizing relationships are essential for living a life aligned with purpose.

 

Journal Question: 

Reflect on a recent situation where you reacted impulsively. How might the outcome have differed if you had taken the time to respond thoughtfully? What steps can you take to cultivate emotional control and align your actions with your core values in the future?"
