    Avoid Overreacting

    There are situations when you are not mentally prepared to handle any event. To act differently and wisely, you need a quick mental break before your response. You can never be a wise person if you don’t listen properly before you respond. Similarly, if you follow your emotions without balancing your response with facts and logic, the outcome will not be in your favour or at least not the best for you. A wise person always thinks of a big picture about overall goals and objectives rather than limiting his mind to the event only. Usually, a quick reaction comes when no other options are available in mind. Whereas the reality is that we always have choices. All we need is to consider them and the consequences they can bring, before moving forward. The goal should be to mentally move into the future and look back to your vision of your possible responses. This will make you choose the best response to the current situation.  Remember, you need to act differently. In order to act differently, you need to think before you act. For thinking about the big picture, your goals should be higher than the current event. Sometimes you need preparation to properly respond to an event. In that case, your vision should be clear in advance about the type of event you may be facing so that you can be fully prepared. Always ask yourself, am I reacting? This question will give you a quick mental break. Situations go worse with overreactions. You need to be mindful of that. Once you are motivated to practice better response. The result of this practice will change the whole situation around you. Hope you will start practicing it. Thanks for listening. Stay tuned.

    Preparation of a better Respond

    Podcast 4. Most of the time in emergency situations we often tend to react rather than respond. This happens usually when we’re stressed out or we don’t like to slow down ourselves. While responding sounds like a slow choice. Obviously, in a crisis or emergency situation, it seems logical that we need to react in a second with a decisive mode. It can be challenging to be mindful when we are on autopilot-mode to react.  However, the reality is that the best crisis managers, emergency management officials, firefighters, doctors and even sales professionals are specifically trained and practice various scenarios so they can respond rather than react. The difference is in preparation and thought. In other words, it does not mean you will be slow, just thoughtful and prepared.  All you need to consider is a pause in between the event and your reaction. This should be right at the moment you recognize your stress in any situation. Immediately, take a deep breath and note any emotions coming up, or the story you’re creating in your head, and what behaviour you will now be engaging in with your response. The more that you pause, the more you will respond mindfully.  There is a short practice you can do everyday day whenever anything goes wrong in order to step into that space between the event and response. This practice is called S. T. O. P.  The way it works is whenever you feel anything small goes wrong in your daily routine, you need to first Stop, Think and take a breath then Observe all your emotions and feelings for a moment then Proceed with patience. In this S. T. O.P. practice, you will start to empower your brain to handle any difficult situation. There are a lot more ideas and practices we will be discussing in our next podcast. Please stay tuned. Thanks for listening.

    Understanding Situation

    Podcast 3. Any situation is a set of events. There is no doubt that the situation and people affect our mood and happiness. However, we need to know that the outcome of any situation depends not only on the event but also on our response. E plus R equal to O. Where E stands for the event, R for response and O for the outcome. If we need a better outcome of any situation, the first thing we need to understand is that two forces exist in any situation. External forces and internal forces. We can always use our internal forces to handle our situation in a better way. That will lead to a better outcome of that situation. The most important thing is to realize that, in any situation, always respond rather than react. There is a clear difference between reacting and responding. A reaction is usually emotional without much thought. It is quick. There is frustration, anger and negativity in a reaction. Whereas a response is calm and thought out. It is without annoyance. There is compassion that impacts everyone's mood at that moment and later affects our wellness for a longer period. Responding mindfully is the most important skill that we need to learn to win any situation. It is required not only to handle the situation without annoyance or panic but also to get a better outcome of it. My next podcast will give you more ideas and practices about turning a negative situation into a positive outcome. Please do not miss it. Thanks for listening.
