There's a fine line between knowing when to react and knowing when not to.
In most situations, our knee jerk response is to react impulsively.
When we surrender to our ego and chose this path, the outcome is never very pretty.
Why is that? one may ask.
Well, it's because we react without thinking.
For we are driven by our emotions.
We don't think about what we're about to say or do.
We just sorta... react!
In hindsight we seem to end up with some regrets.
So what's a better route?
Breathe.
Be present.
Attune yourself to your feelings.
Reflect.
And ground yourself.
Only when your feet are firmly planted, will you respond with grace in any situation.
Whether it's with a loved one.
A friend.
With anyone really.
Always take a step back.
Ground yourself.
Than and only than may you proceed.
