Positive Thinking In Action 4

Reacting vs. Responding
        Choosing how you respond always sounds fairly easy. Putting it into action, well, takes work. I am taking for granted that each of you are clear up to this point. You understand the difference between how you react and how you respond. You now have a better idea whether you are a positive or negative kind of person. Now we have to start down the road of practicing how to choose a positive response.
         Each situation and it's level of importance to you will churn up the emotions. Higher level of importance, higher level of emotion, higher degree of difficulty to respond positively. Let's start our practice with some of what I am calling low importance situations. How would you respond to these scenarios:
[remember responding comes after reacting; how will you respond positively?]

  • Stepping in gum on the sidewalk.
  • Stepping in dog poop on the sidewalk.
  • Spilling your morning coffee.
  • Being tailgated by another driver.
  • Tearing your pants / skirt on the way to an appointment.
  • Locking your keys in the car.
