Recognise & Respond. DON'T REACT
Self and situational awareness, ‘recognise and respond rather than react.’
In this episode, Lee discusses and explains the importance of recognising and responding rather than reacting. He also explains how this can have a positive affect on your personal and professional life. Listen into this episode to learn more!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Your body recognises a need and responds to it e.g. When you need food you get hungry. When you’re more aware of these signs it can help you personally or professionally. A number of books, self-help podcasts and physical books mention being present in time. For me, this means driving the voice in your head rather than letting it drive you. Someone with a negative attitude lets facts control their behaviour. E.g. if it’s raining they wont go play in the rain just because it’s raining. Does your environment support recognising and responding? Ask yourself how to respond rather than react. It’s all about creating an enabling environment of trust. Be aware of how in control of your feelings you are. Ask yourself how in control of your feelings are you.
