Loosid Sober Tip of the Day April 7

We often think we are only responsible for our actions.

Remember, at any time, we are responsible for three things: Our actions, our reactions and our inactions.

Ironically, inaction is often the most powerful.

This may mean restraint of pen and tongue by not sending that nasty text, email or phone response to someone who hurt you.

It may also mean sitting quietly with yourself and observing your thoughts and settling your mind.

Actions and reactions are very powerful as well.

Write down your actions, reactions and inactions from the last day. Then take an inventory to see what inactions were not useful and should have been acted upon.

Do the same for actions and reactions. You will get better each day. It just takes a bit of practice.

How did this tip resonate with you? Let us know your thoughts below. There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

I have been using this approach and it definitely helps cut the bud before it becomes a tree

Using the pause button has been a challenge at times. I’m definitely getting better at this. I was so quick to respond to everyone and everything that I never really processed what was actually happening. It’s a beautiful thing now when I’m confronted with someone else’s inventory I don’t have to allow it to be absorbed or take it on. That’s theirs. I’ve come to find out that we all have that inner child and sometimes it comes out. If I can see that in others I can use my tools to not respond or take a minute or two to gather my thoughts… I can say not responding has been a tool that has been very helpful for me in ways of not having a resentment come out because of my responses…
