Emotionally Reactive

Emotionally Reactive
Feeling sensitive could cause a person to overreact when responding to others. In order to not abuse those closest or ruin new relationships, whether business or personal, one should try to respond from a higher place within oneself. All that is needed is to take a step back, rise above the emotions and respond from a calmer place within us. it may take practice to do this consistently, but it will save hurt feelings and reduce unnecessary drama in one's life. 


Emotions colour out thoughts as well as our actions, so it is important to learn to recognize when we are reacting from the influence of something other than our best judgement. Since our thoughts create our world, we want to consciously create the best experience we can. when we catch ourselves caught in negative thought patterns, taking a deep and cleansing breath and connecting to our centre helps us find forgiveness and balance. Making a habit of breathing before we think or act could help us live from the higher place within ourselves all the time.
