How often do you just react to something?
Think about the last conflict you experienced- did you react to the situation or respond to it?
This is something most of us don’t question or pay attention to often, but it’s important in understanding just why we act the way we do sometimes.
Often what makes us uncomfortable in conflict is actually our own reaction (or not knowing how to react) or witnessing someone else’s reaction and figuring out how to respond.
This is such a big topic we felt it was really important we address the difference between reacting and responding on the podcast and give you some ways you can identify your choice point between the two.
Beyond this, we’re breaking down some actual facts about what’s happening to you when you are reacting (did you know your IQ drops 10 to 15 points when your body is getting ready to react?!) and some coping styles to adjust your behavior.
We really think you’ll resonate with this episode (let’s be honest, we’ve all reacted in a way we wish we hadn’t before).
