Reactivity: Ready, Shoot, Aim
Posted by Dr. Judy at 3:00 am
I am curious. Are you ready, aim, shoot? Or are you ready, shoot, and aim to see your reaction? Or maybe you’re like me and vacillate re: your reaction to life targets and vicissitudes.
So what happened when you took a risk? Did you win or lose? Who cares? You got into the game! Isn’t life always full of surprises? Some thrilling and others beating you up. Were you happy with how you reacted?
I don’t say this next phrase lightly. Here goes. Your reactivity is everything!
Ask yourself:
- Did I allow myself to feel my reaction?
- Did I savor the great ones and let the negative reactions sail off into the sunset?
- Did I learn and grow from the experience without judging myself? Forgiveness is key!
Remember that phrase, “Dance like no one is watching?” Can’t you feel that abandon? Setting yourself free from negativity? Just you being you. Please,cut yourself some slack if you screw up.
Be happy with yourself.
Wanna dance? Go ahead, stand up right now and celebrate wonderful you.
I promise I won’t watch.
But I’ll kick up my sassy leopard print heels thinking about you.
