Map a reaction and another response · D8.3
Map an everyday reaction and a possible response
You want to understand a recent reaction without judging yourself for having it.
Everyday practice
Try these steps
- Choose a manageable event and describe what happened just before the reaction.
- Name what you noticed in thoughts, feelings, or actions. Leave uncertain parts blank.
- Choose one response you might want available next time, such as asking a question, setting a limit, or pausing.
An example
When the plan changed, I spoke quickly. Next time I might ask what changed before answering.
Reflect
What context mattered, and what is still unclear?
Next time
Use the map as information, not proof that you should control every reaction.
