I think this simple shift in how you view things is going to make all the difference. And it's the difference between reacting and responding. It's one simple thing. It's a pause. That's it. So instead of reacting knee-jerk to whatever it is making you angry, upset, this or that, just a simple pause, a breath, count to 3 seconds is going to help you respond in so much more appropriate ways. And you will never regret your response.
