If you’re faced with an emergency, then by all means take action right away. However, in reality, emergencies are relatively rare. You will fin that in most situations you’ll be far better off when you take the time to get it right.
There are a few things that you must respond to immediately. Often an immediate response, without taking the time to think it though, can be worse than no response at all.
Choose to give yourself some valuable space between what happens and what you choose to do about it. In that space, use your powerful mind, your experience, your perspective, and your intuition to craft a positive, effective response.
It is a gift to learn to lean toward under-reacting rather than overreacting. You will find that you not only will you reduce your levels of frustration and anxiety, but you’ll be able to more effectively handle the challenges that life brings your way.
Learn to be ok with the fact that something will not be immediately resolved. Then proceed calmly, thoughtfully, carefully and diligently forward to obtain the most positive, yet valuable outcome.
Remember a smart response will almost always take you further than a quick, ill-considered response. Choose to invest the time to think it through, and that investment will reap great rewards.
