Reacting, responding, retreating, recoiling

The thing happened. It was a big thing! And then you did…something.

Did you take a breath to consider first? Or did the action flow out of you without thought?

Did you push forward into the situation, or take space from it?

We’ve each got some default behaviors around all of these, varying from person to person but consistent across time. What’s your default? And in retrospect, when might it not have been the best approach?
