It is possible to choose our response to the situation, but this requires training. Most of the times we just habitually react.
Yesterday I was involved in the situation, when one person panicked. On that particular occassion I felt that the right response on my part was to do nothing. Doing nothing is active.
This situation reminded me that without stopping (inhibiting) in front of the situation that puts pressure on us, we give our habits permission to take even stronger hold of our actions, and we are therefore more likely to react, and not respond.
The most useful tool I have come across for learning how to respond is the AT.
The current great challenge for me is how to apply this within the school environment.
