Responding

You’re pissed off. Frustrated. You’re upset with how things turned out.

It’s likely you’re reacting to a situation.

Responding is a far smarter choice.

Take a moment to consider what someone more experienced than you would do in your position.

Stop to think through what you have control over and a next step to make the situation better.

Count to ten or go out for fresh air if you need to, but whatever it is you do, be sure you’re responding, not reacting.
