Detach from the proclivity to react

Formerly trained as a counselor, I routinely encounter people who are negatively impacted by being reactionary.  Reacting on impulse or emotion can be detrimental.  I often hear people say, they made me so angry.  This is where I step in and attempt to raise awareness around emotional displacement.  Highly successful and productive people have mastered how to detach from the proclivity to react.  No matter what may be going on around them, they remain calm.  Highly successful and productive people do not allow themselves to succumb to emotional response, impulsivity, and reacting to situations that could be to their detriment.  Reactionary people often have higher incidents of coronary issues, make decisions irrationally, and fracture meaningful relationships.  The next time you are in a situation, pay attention to opportunities to detach from the proclivity to react. ~MGc
