I think
I'm sure there's some people out there that like to blame others quicker than to blame themselves, but I am by far my worst critic.
So if I can get my arms around, okay, Todd, you're doing your best, take a breath, go easy on yourself.
If I can do that, I'm guessing that I it's easier for me to be in relationship with the people that I love.
But yeah, it just naturally kind of seeps out.
If we're working on ourselves, then it seeps out into the people that we're surrounded with.
Yeah, the term that we use on Zen Parenting all the time is self-awareness.
And really what that is is can I pause for a second and respond instead of react?
There's a lot of people out there that are really good at reacting without thinking.
Can I have enough discipline that next time something triggering happens to me, can I locate to see if I'm in a place of openness and curiosity?
Or instead am I in a place of closeness or defensiveness and that or that I have a need to be right?
I don't think I'm going to get anywhere unless I first try to just locate where I am in this present moment.
And it's not easy, you know, because when we get scared, we go back to the back of our brain and we react from that place.
But we do have this wonderful thing called a prefrontal cortex, which differentiates us from the animals.
And we have the ability to pause and reflect and then respond from that place.
And like I said, maybe eight times out of ten I still kinda
getting as reactive place and my goal is to make that ratio a little bit more friendly.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, those two very good questions.
So I'll start with the second one first.
