Sleep on things

Too often people reply without thought or speak without thinking – they react instead of respond.

It’s so easy to do. You get caught up in the moment, your emotions get the best of you – and then likely you’ll say something that you’ll regret later.

Hence sleeping on things.

I had a situation yesterday where I honestly wanted to blast someone via text. Instead, I chose not to reply and went offline to do some work around it.

I know that the common denominator is always me, that I am 100% responsible for what I create, and yet, this was like the straw that broke the camels back.

Because I have enough self awareness to know that I can get feisty when I feel disrespected, I chose to go offline and use the situation to my advantage.

Why ruin a relationship over words that are coming from my protective personality versus my higher self?

It’s just our ego that wants to be right and who wants to win – but in the end it will be a loss if your “come from” is not from a loving place.

Sleep on it. And the lead with love.
