Mini-Meditation: Handling Our Reactivity During Difficult Situations

Viktor E. Frankl said, “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."

That space sometimes seems so short. Often we respond in ways we later regret. The aim of this exercise is to help us deal with our reactivity during these situations, using our breath and compassionate inner talk. Don’t give up if this does not work the first time. With practice, you will be able to catch that space on time.
