Loosid Sober Tip of the Day August 15

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.

I reacted ferociously when my sibling recently gave up on me. It came from a place of feeling hurt and abandoned.
I thought they were in my corner but they landed low blows, mentioning a track record, and called my situation depressing...
I could have just said ", fine. Believe what you want, even though your beliefs NOW are unfounded, and don't offer me anything ever again."

The only time I should react is in cases of gunfire or flames. Any other time I should pause. Reactions and expectations almost always end bad.
