“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

— Viktor E. Frankl, a neurologist and psychologist.

Have you ever had the situation where you instantly respond? And later on you look back and you think, wow, why did I respond that way?T

The Power of Choosing what is next start with that Space where to understand what happened between that stimulus and response. The Power is "Opportunity" ...The Opportunity to choose...to shift the Energy to something positive for me and things around me...The Opportunity to move forward..Move towards the thing we want...

It is important to stay calm within ourselves and can choose the right response, a response that is more positive and more productive for the situation at hand.

So...How do you do this? The first thing you do is to name your emotion, don't avoid them..Just name them and don't be general...Anger is reaction and not emotion...Am I feeling/experiencing disappointment..Am I feeling/experiencing fear...Am I feeling/experiencing frustrated...
