Respond With Awareness

Today you’re being reminded to respond with awareness.

To respond to life consciously, and not through emotional habits and learned behaviour.

Often when a situation occurs, you respond to them the way you always have.

Responding in a particular way may have been appropriate in the past, but how often do you stop to ask if the response is still appropriate today.

We can often learn our emotional responses as children, either as a way to get what we wanted or to avoid something we didn’t. Or they can be a learned behaviour as we watched how our own parents or caregivers behaved in certain situations.

These responses may not be appropriate or even healthy responses for you today.

Today you have more experience, knowledge and resources to draw upon than you did when you were a child.

So, take a moment and make sure that you respond consciously, and in a way that supports you and who you’re becoming.

In this very moment, pause, and take a breath. As you allow yourself to become conscious of any outdated and habitual responses.

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is to pay attention to how you respond, especially to emotive topics such as money and love.

Think about your beliefs and behaviours around these topics and consider if they are even yours, or have you just been repeating what you’ve learnt, or are you doing what you have always done?

Are your responses, conscious and considered, are they made from a place of awareness or are they default patterns that you unconsciously fall into?

Pause, and take a breath. As you ask yourself “Is this mine?”

Today’s Affirmation:

“I consciously choose how I respond to situations”
