Yesterday we had our final certification call before graduation in January , and it was .
There were two things that I took away , and there were two things that I think are very powerful and I want to share with you , and the first one was when we are in a situation or when we are feeling something , can we ask ourselves is this the end of the world , or is it just really inconvenient right now ? And that can shift your perspective so much .
So you know you're upset about something , but is it the end of the world or is it really inconvenient in this situation ? Right , can ? Is it something that we can fix ? Is it something that we can find a solution ? For most of the time , that is definitely the case , right ?
The second thing that we talked about and I think both of these can go hand in hand when we use them together and that is the power of a pause , and we were talking about the power of a pause and coaching , because a lot of times , we want to , as human beings , we want to save others , we want to help others instead of letting them literally process things
in front of us and let them look confused and let them , like , allow their neuro pathways in their brain to rewire because their neurotransmitters are firing off in this situation . Right , because when people are thinking , they're using different parts of their brain , but the same thing is true for us , right ? Instead of reacting to things , pause .
Why is this happening ? Can I choose a different emotion ? And then again what I just introduced you to is this the end of the world or just inconvenient in this moment in my life ? Do you know how much stress these two acknowledgements and these two actions can save us ?
Do you know how much anxiety these two ahas can save us from pausing , thinking logically , you can also say is this a feeling or a fact ? And then also , is this the end of the world or is it really inconvenient ? And then you can make your decision on how you're gonna react . Right , because life is 90% or sorry .
10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it . How are you gonna react to it ? You get to decide in that moment , especially when you can pause , take some breaths . Is this the end of the world , earning convenience ? Make the decision .
