Mary Giuffre Blog :: Behaviour is a Choice Not a Response

Feng Shui For Your Spirit©Blog

So how did you choose to respond? How did it make you feel?

This examination of our personal behaviour and response pattern can extend to everything we do! When something annoys you? Does your anger well up to bursting inside? And how do you behave when sadness appears? Do you allow it to drag you down and overwhelm you? Choosing to react to a sad, disappointing or angering event by over dramatizing the situation, endless dwelling on every detail, reliving it step by step, moment by moment and feeling the pain of frustration allows it to become deeper engrained in your being!

The way you choose to behave has a direct effect on how you feel everyday. Your feelings are your direct response to life it's self! So it's all up to you. When these situations and others arise ~ and they will come up again and again ~ ask yourself only one question. What behaviour do I choose?

~ Go with the flow!

Behaviour is a Choice Not a Response

As divine beings given free will, everything we do comes down to a matter of personal choice. On first thought, the reality of our behaviour being a choice many not be apparent. We might think, "This is my personality. I've always acted this way!" But with deeper consideration we realize we have the inherent right to choose every response to every situation put in front of us.

Picture a time when you were standing in an extremely slow moving line up. How did those around you behave? Some were likely edgy and annoyed and boisterously letting those around them know exactly how they were feeling. Others probably got silent and sulky, shrinking into themselves with brains chattering about just how inconvenient the situation was. And then there was the occasional individual who chose to make the most of the experience by engaging those around them in buoyant conversion. These responses were all made as personal behaviour choices!
