Remember the time we reacted without thinking?

This week on the Balanced Warrior Podcast, all three coaches, Chris, Mike, and Paul, dig into the importance of responding to a situation instead of reacting.  Have you ever had a situation where you reacted a certain way and regretted it and wished you could have taken it back?  Or have you reacted in a way where all parties involved were better because of it?  Well. Chris, Mike, and Paul all experienced both and are sharing with all of the listeners the tips, tricks, and strategies to help you respond appropriately and not react in haste.  Because the latter will help you and those around you grow from the experience, whereas the former brings regret and could set you back in many ways.  So tune in, get a pen and paper ready, and take notes to learn how to respond and not react.  Some key takeaways to look for are…  

• When confronted with a situation, write it out and schedule time to address it.
• Run through a value checklist.
• Responding and not reacting takes conscious effort.
• If people bring toxicity to your world, disconnect with them.
• Understand the other person’s rules, and you could respond more appropriately
• Make your rules easy to meet and hard to break
• Communicate your standards so they understand the rules of your game.
