029: How To Respond Better to Interactions That Trigger You - Soulfull Sound Coaching

We all go through moments of feeling down, hurt, frustrated and just tired. Such is the nature of life – its ups and downs – darkness and light. Yet even in those moments we have a choice in how we respond and react, firstly to ourselves and then to others. I’m not saying this is easy, just that you have a choice and it starts with self-awareness. It starts with knowing that in any given moment you have an opportunity to choose to feel better, be better and do better. And from this space of being self-aware you can be compassionate with yourself and others, so that you can make better choices.

In every given moment we are at a crossroad, in the sense that we can decide to behave this way or that or say this or that. Our response is normally a reflex based on our unconscious patterns and habits. How can you be more conscious of your responses and reactions on a daily basis?

Pause, ask & listen, and then respond.

We’re all at different stages in this triad. Some people naturally pause, perhaps to compose themselves; some just lash out immediately and some of us fluctuate between the two. You know which way you tend to go with this. Some people don’t ask themselves questions until after in reflection and then some do in the moment and then ignore the response! This approach is flawed! This triad works when you move through each corner efficiently, so let’s look at each piece.

Tune in to learn the how you can use the 'Interaction Triad' to help you respond better in your interactions.
