Series 1, Episode 6: Reacting or Responding?

Welcome to episode 6 of What Inspires You? Where I unpack my perspective on Reacting or Responding and my 7 Steps to Success to ensure the best outcomes. If you find this video helpful, please like and comment as it helps others to connect too. Enjoy.
Reactionary observations:
- It's all about me
- It's all in the moment, the now
- Feeling of being on the back foot and rigid
- Defensive
- Needs to be right
- Often disconnects
- Easily offended
- Surface level
- Often accusatory
Responding observations:
+ relationship is King
+ plays the long game, looking ahead
+ is on the front foot, step ahead
+ prepared and agile
+ wants to get it right
+ all about connection
+ peaceful, calm and goes deeper
+ ask questions to gain understanding
My Super Seven to go from Reacting to Responding:
1. Be aware of my emotions
2. Pause, take a moment, step out of the situation
3. Pray, look within (not out), ask for God's help to see
4. Take myself to a "happy place/thought" which brings me back to peace, rest and calm so I can think creatively and longer term again
5. Consider the possibilities or outcomes
6. Go back and revisit
7. Ask questions to understand or share the win/possible solution
Love and abundant blessings

Thank you amazing lady for taking the time to listen and then to comment. I am glad I lightened your day today, as you always do mine. 🙏

Thanks Sally for discussing a very important issue that we deal with in our everyday life. I totally agree with you. We tend to be reactive without noticing it. We need to be more responding and less reacting. Thanks again for reminding me of letting go from reacting and giving attention to responding in my actions and interactions.

Thank you once again for your considered thoughts and words. It is a challenge for all of us. We think we have got it sorted and then something pops round the corner to surprise us. I hope the super seven were a useful resource to help flip from one to the other.🥰
