Dallas Bragg uses spilling water at dinner to show how your automatic reaction reveals your deeper attitude. An angry response signals you see life as disasters and yourself as a fuck-up. That attitude bleeds into everything: your behavior, relationships, and recovery.
Think about your first response to life experiences. What is your default? For example, you spill a glass of water at the dinner table, right? Do you immediately start screaming profanities and become irrationally upset and stew on it through the rest of the meal? As an example, if so, what does that say about your attitude? To me, it says life is one disaster after another and I'm a fuck-up. And if that's your attitude, then it's going to show up all across all spectrums of your life. You're going to see that living out everywhere else.
