@rebuildanyway1: It's amazing how one little irritation can turn into a full investigation. 😂 Something happens. I feel completely justified in being annoyed. And suddenly my mind is remembering things from last week, last month, and possibly 2017. Exhibit A. Exhibit B. Exhibit C. Meanwhile, we're still just trying to decide where to eat. 😂 But this is exactly why I like practicing Better Questions in ordinary moments. Not to talk myself out of being irritated. Not to excuse someone else's behavior. And definitely not to put everyone else's needs above mine. I practice because I want to notice when my mind has wandered beyond what's actually happening. Am I responding to this moment, or everything it's reminding me of? Sometimes the answer reveals a real pattern worth paying attention to. Sometimes it reveals that I'm tired, hungry, or carrying something else into the conversation. Either way, I've gathered a little more information. And that matters. Because when something bigger happens, I don't want curiosity to be something I only remember after the argument is over. I'd like it to feel a little more familiar. That's why I practice with small things. Sometimes dinner gets to stay dinner. 😂💚 #SelfImprovement #mindset #communication #relationships #emotionalintelligence
