\nThe other day I was out in the backyard after mowing the lawn and Cathy came out and asked me why some patches of lawn that I had repaired weren’t growing back.\xa0 For some reason, I got defensive and said something sarcastic.\xa0 I looked over and could tell my words not only surprised her but hurt her, Instantly I felt regret.\xa0 Later that night I found myself wondering “Why did I get\xa0so defensive about something so silly?”.
\nHow often do you have moments of regret after saying or doing things? Have you noticed when they happen or what you felt in those moments?\xa0 Are there patterns to your problem behaviour?
\nThis Sunday\xa0we’re talking\xa0about the\xa0life-changing\xa0wisdom that can result from practicing curiosity around moments like these.
