There are 5 seconds between the trigger and the reaction. Most people live their whole lives never knowing that that gap exists. You know the feeling? Something happens, a comment, a look, a tone, and before you've made any kind of conscious decision, you've already reacted. Said the thing, shut down, snapped, or left the room. And then 10 minutes later you're thinking, "Why did I do that?" I knew better. I've worked on this. I've read the books. I know what I'm supposed to do. Why do I keep doing the same thing? Because knowing and doing are built in different places. See, the reaction happened in your body before your knowledge even had a seat at the table. See, between the trigger and the explosion, there's a tiny gap. It's It's real and it's trainable. When you find it, even once, it feels like taking a breath in a room you didn't know had a window. Just a little air that's enough to change what happens next. You can't choose your reaction, but you can train what happens in that gap. That's the whole game. Today's video shows you exactly how to find that gap and what to do within it. This is the one. Link in the bio.
