I usually get this way when things are not going exactly the way I want them to be. It is very freeing to learn this about myself. <br /><br />Now that I know, I can recognize the signs when I feel my reaction urge kick in (feeling frustrated with anything is a sure sign) and stop it before it happens. If I am truly unsure about whether to react or do nothing, I "sleep on it". So I avoid creating more drama in my life by my reaction to stuff I can't control anyway. It is so much more peaceful and freeing to just do nothing/ say nothing sometimes!<br /><br />"Let it go"...was there ever a more useful slogan?<br /><br />SuzanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451509587037762640.post-46582554866948025252009-05-10T14:49:00.000-04:002009-05-10T14:49:00.000-04:00This is a very timely tip for me as I am extremely...This is a very timely tip for me as I am extremely disturbed by some texts that my estranged husband sent me, and I want to try to make him understand that I haven't meant to be hurtful. But not responding may - will probably - lead to a better outcome than texting him back and forth all day.<br /><br />It's hard to sit with "what I don't do," but I think not acting is necessary.AllisonRhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442704879664039639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451509587037762640.post-72802770001175471642009-05-10T09:32:00.000-04:002009-05-10T09:32:00.000-04:00That puts an interesting spin on things.
