S4E22 - Why You Overreact... And How to Stop

📧 - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Claim Your Free Resources ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ We all have moments in our days when we overreact to the simplest of things, then this leaves us beating ourselves up because of it! I get it dude; it happens to us all, but it doesn’t have to be like this! In this week’s episode, I share a 3 Step Process to help you pause instead of react. The work we’re doing here isn’t about never getting triggered. It’s about creating a bit more space between the trigger and how we respond. Pause → Process → Proceed 👉 Pause - First thing is just creating space. This might be three slow breaths, walking outside for a minute, or just noticing ‘I’m triggered right now.’ 👉 Process - Explore why you are feeling what you are feeling. Ask two honest questions: “What’s actually going on here? “What Do I Need Right Now?” 👉 Proceed - Then respond in a way that the version of you you're trying to become would be proud of. Not perfect. Just better than the old pattern. Every time you pause instead of react, you’re changing the environment your kids grow up in. You’re breaking patterns most of us grew up with. Reflection Question Q1 “Where this week did you successfully pause instead of react?” Q2 “Where this week do you wish you had paused?” Q3 “What situation is most likely to trigger you right now?” If you found this episode useful, please share with friends & on your socials to help spread the message.
