Ep. 248 Are You Reactive or Are You Responsive

Today, we're diving into an intriguing question: Are you reactive or are you responsive? We all have strong emotions, especially when something upsetting happens, but what's the difference between reacting emotionally and responding thoughtfully?

We'll start by understanding emotions themselves. Emotions are psychological motors that drive us toward the good, beautiful, and true, and away from what's not. However, the key to emotional health is guiding our emotions with reason. This means taking the information our emotions provide and thinking through the best way to respond.

I'll share practical examples and tips on how to shift from reactive to responsive, which can lead to healthier relationships and a happier life. If you find it challenging due to past traumas, I'll also discuss the importance of seeking support from a good Catholic therapist.

Tune in to explore how you can master your emotions and transform your interactions. God bless!
