Are you finding it difficult to not react to what’s going on around you these days, from political events to the mass and social media? We are being bombarded daily by messages that are designed to trigger a reaction in us and in this digital age it is almost impossible to stay away.
On a more personal level, how many times in your life did you have a situation when you reacted to someone’s emotional outburst, stress/anger and behaved the way you regretted you did? When you react, you are responding to the conditions and triggers, without taking the time to listen to yourself and be true to yourself. Instead of acting out of your own place of integrity and inner truth, you are re-acting, something we usually end up regretting later on.
