When watching actors, especially on the big screen, we tend to focus on the one doing the acting as opposed to the other who’s doing the reacting. Unless it’s exaggerated, reacting doesn’t demand our focus. When it comes to dealing with those who consistently create drama in our lives, try shifting your focus to the reactor — i.e. you. Like doppler radar, you’ll see your own stuff move in over your brain with varying intensities, most of which you can choose to let blow through OR let stall to unleash a deluge.
What kind of storms are you creating for yourself in the presence of someone else’s upheaval? What things are you telling yourself and what actions might you be taking that have nothing to do with what you really want in the moment? If you seek true calm in others, it really helps to first have it in yourself.
