When it’s extreme, it’s ours.
Rage, feelings of inadequacy, shame, overwhelm.
Reactivity is not due to people or situations in our lives.
Response lies within.
When extreme, it inadvertently blocks our way toward calmness, clarity, confidence.
Blocks the way toward resolution.
Our work is to enter the neutral zone.
Not a place of no-feeling.
Not a place of not caring.
Instead, a place of entering the expanse.
Seeing possibilities.
Getting out of stuck.
And it’s easier said than done.
How does one enter the neutral zone?
Recognize reactivity.
Take space.
Acknowledge its desire to help.
Define its need.
Discern the most effective path to meet the need.
Take the path.
Easier said than done.
Yep, life ain’t easy.
Bound to oneself for the duration of the lifespan
who better to engage in the process,
enter neutrality
and reap the benefits of enrichment and success?
