A plastic bag spook the horses.
Our instinct can be to run, hide or escape.
We react with fear and suddenly feel unsafe.
What we want to catch is that tiny millisecond before we react.
Pause, look at the facts and return to the observer’s perspective.
Is there actually a threat, or was it just a plastic bag?
Create a tiny space before you react.
Maybe you’ll discover that the situation isn’t really dangerous after all.
You can relax and continue with whatever you were doing.
Think about a time when you managed to stop in your tracks during an uncomfortable or scary moment instead of reacting automatically. 🙈😱
