Wonderful pearls of wisdom for strengthening our positive reflexes, Vatsala! I shall pay closer attention to my reactions and determine how to be a better leader, friend and individual. Thank you, as always, for your guidance.

This is great. I wish I would have had this kind of support when I was young and in the working world!

In reply to Beverley Golden. Falling back into default mode does happen, Beverley, especially when the emotional trigger is a strong one. The fact that you managed to take back control of the situation in a mindful and conscious manner demonstrates your mastery of this important skill. Hope your Mom is feeling better.

This is an area I have been practicing myself, Vatsala. It is ‘easy’ to default to our typical reactionary mode, however, with some objectivity and consciousness, I find we can shift from our typical negative reaction to actually see the situation or circumstance in the light of ‘what is so’, making it easier to move our own energy and to reframe the circumstance in a more positive light. I caught myself yesterday, as my mother had a bit of a ‘crisis’ and I immediately overreacted when I called my brother to tell him. I found being more conscious and stepping back and really seeing what was happening, helped me to calm down, and view the situation in a more positive light. Everything turned out fine too.

In reply to Tricia. Thanks Tricia. We all tend to react instead of responding when our energy levels are low. A good reason to defer decisions when we are tired. :)

This was a great post. It is also a great reminder, as I know when I am tired or not feeling well my patience level is low and I tend to react vs responding. Something I work on.
