Brite Thoughtful Tip:
Part of being mindful or thoughtful is to be open-minded. This is difficult with our “self-talk,” especially if it is negative. If we let that control us, that little negative voice is detrimental. Believe that things are never written in stone and that there is opportunity to change it. We can’t change how other people act. There will be those out there who may hurt with words, deeds or actions. It’s up to us how we choose to handle it, react or create thoughts around it.
If we come from a place of mindfulness, at least we are being true to ourselves while expressing what we need to express. Taking the TIME to be mindful – that’s the trick. It means we have to think about what we say or do, it means we have to be quiet and listen, instead of reacting.
To do this, be an observer of both parties, try to see both sides. REALLY listen to what someone is saying or watch what they are doing. Most likely there is a deeper reason for the other person’s actions and words. By reacting mindfully, you might not always get the response you want, but at least YOU know you took the higher road.
