Be Proactively Thoughtful

Up until now, I have been reactively thoughtful.  When something goes wrong, I stop my life progress and I focus on understanding it.  

Moving forward, I need to be proactively thoughtful.  When I am in conversation with people and building relationships with people, it gives a bad impression if I don’t respond to them in the moment and I just ignore or disappear and let the topic hang.  I need to understand and guess and anticipate what they will think and prepare for what they might say before they say it so that I can handle it in the best way to preserve and build and maintain the relationship.  

From this article, I realize that if I ever want to have the skill to go represent a company to the president or to anyone powerful in general, I won’t get the chance to fail and fail and fail and fail and fail until I finally break through and succeed.  I only get one chance to make a first impression to earn the right to come back.  And to guarantee my chances of making a good first impression, I need to be proactively thoughtful and anticipate concerns and address them ahead of time. 

This skill also applies to daily life. Whenever I meet someone, I will have a more successful meeting if I can anticipate their needs and address their concerns beforehand. So I don’t get caught by surprise and instead I am prepared.

Coronavirus Mental Health Tips

A natural response to the coronavirus situation is anger. Control your anger by doing these 5 things:

  1. Drink water every hour
  2. Set a schedule to sleep enough hours each day at the same time each day
  3. Breathe in Deeply whenever you can remember
  4. Eat enough and don’t starve yourself
  5. Practice Meditation, Acceptance, and Gratitude each day.

This will calm you down and keep your anger under control. Coronavirus is a threat and if we don’t control it, it will put us into a Fight or Flight mode which is unhealthy for our bodies to be in, and dangerous for our mental health because with the shelter in place rules we cannot choose Flight, so Fighting and anger are outcomes that coronavirus put us in. So we want to control that energy.
