Responding Instead of Reacting


"No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously."

Did you ever wonder why people become so emotionally engaged in what are often simple situations? Many times, that's just out of habit, whereby people are so used to reacting to life, instead of responding to it, they live at life's effect.

Other times, the emotional reaction is based on a "high" that comes from an adrenaline rush. We often overreact just to avoid boredom!

This week, if you feel that urge to fire away at someone, stop, think, and respond instead of react.
