Deep Resilience

How to Be Proactive Rather Than Reactive (In 2 Steps)

15 Oct 2025

Description

In times of crisis or challenge, it’s natural to feel a certain amount of stress.But we often make things harder by focusing on everything we can’t control: what others are doing, what might happen next, or what’s already happened and can’t be changed. The more we focus on what’s outside of our control, the more helpless, frustrated, and reactive we become.But when we shift our attention to what is within our control we begin to reclaim our power.In this episode, I’ll guide you through two simple steps to move from reactivity to empowerment.You’ll learn how to centre yourself, clarify what’s truly within your control, and take calm, purposeful, effective action even when life feels chaotic.This practice helps you meet life’s challenges with more steadiness, wisdom, and strength.Over time, it trains your mind to stay focused on what matters most, and to act from presence instead of fear.Resources & Links:Free guided meditations to support your practice: https://melliobrien.com/free-meditations/My book Deep Resilience: A four-step framework for unshakable calm and wisdom: https://melliobrien.com/deep-resilience-book/
