Reactional

The only way to actually stop being 'reactional' would be to pick situations through the day where we have later kicked ourselves and try to imagine a better way to handle things.. Maybe this checking helps become the solution we seek but are unable to implement.. Like the phone call today where i assumed it was about fresh help for the house.. Which it wasn't though that is really not important here.. What is important is the assumption.. The instant resistance.. The negative retort.. This can be changed by waiting to hear what the conversation was truly about.. So unhurried patience.. Then listening to the story.. So impartial attention.. Then responding to the situation.. That is calm acceptance.. Without getting worked up.. Understand the other persons viewpoint.. And the reason for your own resistance.. Fight old reactive habits.. Not the person or the situation.. Stress does not resolve anything.. Form ripples of peace.. Not whirlpools of discord.. If there is work stress, then look at the worse case scenario and accept it.. Then find solutions towards resolving it.. First remove the hammer dangling over your head instead of forever fearing it will hit you.. If the stress is health related, exude love not stress.. Fight your fears.. For only you have the ability to starve them.. Or feed them.. Enjoy the nuances of life.. It may be a fresh ray of sunshine.. It may be the fresh onset of night.. But it is always true.. Unique.. And original.. There is no competition.. No comparison.. Things and people are just the way they are.. You see, learn, adapt and change yourself.. Not everything around..
