Check Your Muskets At The Door
Thanksgiving is right around the corner — a wonderful holiday, and my personal favorite.
Being with family is a blessing, but it can also be tricky. Some rarely visited emotions may come knocking on your door.
Years ago, I wrote an essay about checking your TUDE at the door. This year, I’m adding a new twist:
This Thanksgiving, for one hour, do nothing but respond.
Here’s what I mean. Notice the moment you’re about to react to something someone says or does. Then, throw in the clutch. Pause. And wait for a response — a different way to speak or act in that moment.
That tiny pause can save you from fighting over more than who gets the drumstick.
We all have emotional triggers — and people who know exactly how to push them. But if you notice your reaction before acting it out, and give yourself that beat to respond differently, you short-circuit the old stimulus/reaction loop that’s been hardwired over the years.
This isn’t about stifling yourself. It’s about giving yourself the gift of free choice.
For one hour on Turkey Day, you won’t be a robot, automatically reacting to everything around you.
It’s also a way to connect more deeply with the people who matter most.
Choosing how you respond — that’s something to be aware of, and grateful for, as we near the biggest family day of the year.
All the best,
John
