REACTIONS IN THE MOMENT

At times, we speak out of turn or say things that even before we finish the sentence, we wish we had not said.

 

Likely on some level, the words needed to be said. Perhaps, it was the best way, at least at that moment, to get your point across.  Often, when we leave things unsaid for an extended period, when we eventually convey our wishes or feelings, they are said in a less than desirable fashion.

 

Whatever has been said cannot be unsaid, and you must accept the repercussions of your actions or words.  Clarifying or explaining ourselves is a good idea and an apology is essential.

 

We can’t change what has been said or done in the past so, if for example, our words were cutting due to holding on to unshared feelings, there is a valuable lesson in this event.  Do not let feelings or preferences go unsaid.  It is much better to deal with them in a calm and controlled situation than to express them in the heat of the moment and then regret your expression or actions.

 

Reactions in the moment happen occasionally to everyone.  If, however, your reactions are continually uncontrolled perhaps a deeper dive into why is warranted.  Be honest with yourself, accept responsibility for your actions and make the necessary changes where changes are required, so that the next time you are confronted with events or the urge to react, you can take control of your actions in the moment and deal with them in a meaningful and productive manner.

 

Change what you can, speak up when necessary and then let go of the past. If the needed change does not come when you request it and it is essential, walk away.  Remove yourself from the situation if there is no hope for change. Be proactive in what you can control, particularly reactions in the moment!

THE DESTROYER OF PEACE

We can’t emphasize enough the impact of our attitude on our life’s experience.  Life happens (both hard and heart-filled lessons) no exceptions.  Challenging lessons present themselves from time to time, and we can’t ignore them or persuade them to just disappear.  They are part of our life, and we must learn the lesson and deal with them accordingly. This is how we grow and mature.

 

We live in our own corner of the world within our family unit. This family unit may be blood related or a chosen family of friends.  We are influenced by what goes on around us and for some individuals, this influence can be overwhelming at times.  Then on top of what we are surrounded by, we have our own internal struggles. Some individuals cannot admit to these struggles or talk openly about them and others are quite open to sharing their emotional struggles. 

 

Our minds race back and forth each day making judgements and analyzing all that we are experiencing.  It would be interesting to see how many contradictory thoughts we experience in a day, never mind a year or a lifetime. 

 

Our mind will tell us whatever is convenient and productive to its thinking in the moment. There is constant and continual mental dialog. For many of us, because our mind has control over us, for every action and thought there is also a reaction. This is why we should continually remind ourselves that we are not our thoughts. We are the spectators listening to them. As a result, we can choose which thoughts to act upon and which ones we can allow to pass us by without owning them or reacting to them.

 

We can be swept away by life events from time to time. We tire because we are human, and humans make mistakes. These mistakes, however, are valuable learning tools.  We cannot change things once they have happened (such as our reactions) but we can regain control once we recognize our reaction and move forward accordingly. The lesson is to keep going and each time an event happens, your reactions will be less and less until one day, you can stop the reaction before it takes place.  

 

Life is in your hands; it always has been. 

 

Reaction, instead of controlled response, is a destroyer of our peace. Will you start taking responsibility? Don’t be swept away by your mind’s chatter. Be the spectator to its babbling. Choose what to own and what to acknowledge and release.

THE BEST YOU CAN BE

There is so much talk about being the best version of yourself.  That would be ideal, but realistically, we are human beings, with flaws and shortcomings.  No one is perfect and those that believe they are can take a second look.

 

You will make mistakes along the way.  You will do things that you wish you had never done.  You will say things that you will regret later.  There is no doubt about this. The more we work on ourselves certainly the less frequent these events occur.

 

Are we supposed to get caught up in trying to do everything perfectly?

 

Are we supposed to live our lives for the sake of the judgement of others?

 

Life is about learning and sometimes we learn the greatest lessons from things that we may have done in error.  “Wrong” is a judgement.  You have to recognize a mistake as being incorrect.

 

According to merriam-webster.com a “mistake” by definition is “a wrong action or statement proceeding from faulty judgment, inadequate knowledge, or inattention”. There is no calculated intention. It just came about without a concentrated effort.  Sometimes things just happen.

 

We are not perfect beings, but we can pay closer attention to how we live our lives, to the way we receive others and our interaction, especially with those we love.  We tend to allow our worst when in the company of those we are comfortable with.  It is not malicious intent (at least unless we are provoked). When provoked it is certainly not acceptable to use violence or intend to emotionally hurt others.

 

Live your life to the best of your abilities.  Know that you will make mistakes along the way. You are human with emotions, but also recognize the fact that others do as well.  Even those that do not show emotion have sensitivity that is either not easily brought to the surface or is held back.

 

In the heat of the moment, most people think that anything goes, but we must take responsibility for our words and our actions.

 

Pick your battles and gauge what is worth arguing over and in some circumstance whether it is important to be right. 

 

Physical violence is inexcusable and so are hurtful intentions (whether words or actions) with or without provocation. 

 

As it is said “sometimes s*&t happens” so don’t be too hard on yourself. Learn from your mistakes and be the best you can be. With the right intent and self-control, we can be compassionate and understanding even in the heat of the moment.
