Many people living in one day at a time can react quickly to situations without much thought. Our automatic reaction is often based upon the wants of self. Often we are not adaptive to sudden change or difficulty. Our reality is though that we respond in flexibility shortly after the self reacts. It just takes a few moments for us to respond stepping out of the bonds of self with consideration for others knowing we can then adapt to sudden change and difficulties. This is the growth of one day at a time recovery. We are learning to catch ourselves when we are stuck in the bonds of self. We don’t need to beat ourselves up for a momentary reaction. This happens to a lot of people. At times we can catch ourselves before we react. When we learn to respond in consideration’s response for others, we are usually living with less stress and difficulties. This is the gift of acting upon instead of the reaction of self. Even though people are emotional beings we are now finding the gift of reason. We learn that feelings are not always fact. This is reality. And in reality we learn the gift of humility. It’s not always based on me. We are growing. Peace.
