Respond vs. React
A practical tool for understanding what happens between a trigger and your response so you can create more room for choice.
Full Description
Reactions can happen quickly. Something occurs, your mind interprets it, your body responds, an emotion appears, and suddenly you are already doing something about it.
Respond vs. React helps slow that process down.
Instead of labeling reactions as simply “good” or “bad,” this resource helps you understand what happened, what meaning your mind gave it, what occurred in your body, and what urge followed. You will then explore how creating even a small amount of space can help you move from automatic reaction toward intentional response.
