MENTAL DOX 6 - Don’t React , RESPOND
Day 6 was about learning the difference between reacting and responding—and why that difference matters. We learned that reactions feel fast and justified in the moment, but they often cost us peace, clarity, and control. Responses, on the other hand, require a pause—but they protect our future. Through simple, real-life examples, we practiced how to slow down, create space, and choose our words, tone, and actions with intention. The focus was not on ignoring emotions, but on leading them instead of being led by them. Day 6 reminded us that pausing is power. When we respond instead of react, we keep our authority, protect our mental space, and move with purpose instead of impulse.
