The Reality You're Responding To
How many times have you been absolutely certain you knew what someone meant...only to find out later that's not what was happening at all?
In this episode, we're exploring how the state we're in changes what we think we're seeing. Because sometimes we're responding to what's actually happening. And sometimes we're responding to the lens we're looking through. Learning the difference can change our relationships...and ourselves.
In this episode
- Why two people can experience the same interaction and walk away with completely different realities.
- How the state you're in changes what you think is happening.
- Why slowing down before reacting matters.
- What it looks like to recognize when someone else's state is driving the interaction.
- Simple ways to start noticing the state you're bringing into your day.
Episode Thoughts To Sit With
"You and the person are literally in two different realities thinking you're in the same reality."
"The state is the way you perceive the world."
"Don't observe yourself and then chastise yourself or criticize yourself. We're literally just observing."
"Sometimes they are too activated in their own stuff...that doesn't mean you have to be."
