055: The Space Between Stimulus and Response

You mean there's a space between the stimulus and the response??

For us emotive types, that space can seem pretty slim. 

But...in that space is our power to choose our response.

Sometimes we react quickly because our emotions are so hightened and the sheer power of them overrides our capacity to remain poised.

Other times we can't tolerate the intensity of the emotion so reacting immediately helps discharge some of the intensity. 

Either way, there's benefit to creating that space.
