On Thursday morning, as I was coming home from working out, some guy was being an impatient jerk and I gave him the middle finger because of it. I instantly regretted it and, as I explain in this week’s video, the incident needlessly landed me in 25 extra minutes of traffic (and stress!) that could have most certainly been avoided.
The lesson here is, when someone gets under our skin or reacts to something in a way we don’t agree with, often we respond with the reaction we think they deserve. What we don’t realize at the time is that sort of response neglects our own needs and it rarely (if at all) can get anything accomplished. Instead, let’s aim to be mindful of the reactions we deserve by considering what kind of stress or internal resistance we’re going to face if we let the unfavorable reactions rising up inside of us on the loose.
Something to think about!
Let me know what your thoughts on the whole situation are once you watch the video! 😉
