Before you react, pause and listen to yourself. The speaker learned that slowing down to hear your authentic self before responding actually makes you more efficient, not less. It's how you show up better in relationships.
You pause before you react because you're actually listening. I used to have this problem with certain people, especially people around me back in the day, that they thought I needed a lot of time to make a decision. Sometimes certain people thought that my brain is not processing information fast enough. However, what I was doing, and I still do, I just got much, much more efficient at it over the years and practice, is that I'm listening to my limitless self, to my authentic self, before I respond.
