My youngest brother sent out a prayer request today. He was having work issues.
One sibling reminded him to "breathe, breathe, take time to mentally step away from drama and issue at hand."
Another sister said, "... (sister's) idea to mentally step away from the drama is so true and so wise ... one of the most interesting things I have discovered is that there is a space that exists between situation and reaction. Sometimes our emotions lead us to react too quickly to a situation/stimulus so this space is very small. If we widen the space then we have time to think and take a choice. It is this space where freedom lies for it is a space wherein we have a choice. It is in this space that God can talk to us. The actions of the other person may be definitely wrong but at least our reactions will hopefully be definitely right."
