Things in everyday News will give you a GUT Reaction. What is your initial action when hearing/reading news? Do you panic? Do you breathe a sigh of relief? Does one type of news cause you to rest easier while another causes distress?
Below are some simple news blogs. Take a few minutes and read at least two or three. Write down your initial reaction (prior to reading). After completing the entire read summarize your thoughts. Was your initial reaction in line with the facts? Were you judgmental? Did you impatiently scan the piece and discarded the remainder with disgust?
Whatever your reaction and responses understand that this is a exert from your life. How do you handle stress in your daily life? Are you quick to judge and dismiss without the entire picture? Do you write things down (mental checklist is ok), plan them out, re-think them, then react accordingly. Do you gather the facts, then plan the best approach? What is your GUT REACTION when life throws you a curve ball. Improve on it---you may start today.
