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.
