On Monday, I talked about the mindful gap that appears when you practice mindfulness. And this is this tiny gap that offers you huge amount of possibilities and choices.
What I like to do during this mindful gap is to ask myself a powerful question. One of my student told me the other day "quality of answer will depend on the quality of the question'. So true... And the question I use for myself is "What would Love do?" Ex: I am experiencing some anger as my son is "again" screaming very loudly in the house.... "What would Love do?" Someone says something unkind to me... "What would Love do?" Afraid to talk to that person... "What would Love do?" and so on... Just with this question, I am reminded of what is really important to me in any circonstances: my role in teaching my kids to talk softly (and not asking them not to scream by screaming on them!), the fact that I may have misunderstood what the person told me, and that FEAR means nothing else than False Evidence Appearing Real. So, Whenever you catch yourself being about to react to something or someone, ask yourself the right question. And you what is the favorite question you like to ask yourself before responding? Please share below ;) |
