Let’s set the record straight together that impulses don’t inherently need to be a bad thing.
If your impulse is to hold the door open for the person exiting it behind you, that’s great.
And that impulse buy? Well, I’ll admit I bought fancy swedish fish candy while waiting for the deli to make the sandwich I ordered. I’m enjoying a few pieces of that right now as I type.
Impulses foster creativity and innovation because they can break the mold of conventional thinking.
The experience created from the impulse creates a learning opportunity that drives personal growth.
Perhaps the next time you notice an impulse, maybe it’s not as bad of a thing as you’re reacting as if it is.
Stay Positive & Highly Recommend
