Hello All, 

I have recently experienced a situation where I wanted SO bad to respond (React) in a different way, however, I paused and took time to decompress and waited.  I have looked back when I just rushed into my response/reaction with all the emotional energy I was feeling and it just didn’t work out the way I was hoping it would?  Have you ever been in that situation where you reacted right away at an heighten emotional state? Did you have to go back and apologize?  Did you get into trouble over it?  Did you loose a relationship or bruise a relationship over the reaction?  Regarding my experience, I was truly almost there, however, I took almost a week to circle back.  During that time, I spoke with others, prayed, reflected and talked it through with those I both respect and confide in. I think this is the best path and strategy for me, when I “Take Time” to work things through and not react right away.  The outcomes seem to go a lot better.  Don’t get me wrong, my old nature wants to take over when those moments pop up (thankfully not often). May God bless you path and please feel free to contact us if you need assistance.  Mark
