Published: Sept. 7, 2023, 7 a.m.

It's a common question; Did I overreact? Was my reaction normal? It can be tempting to source out whether we should have had the reaction that we had. But the truth is that overreacting is up to the person receiving whatever is happening. It's subjective. And it's not actually necessary to answer this question. It's my belief that we are just reacting. And we don't have to focus on the reaction, instead we want to focus on the result it is creating. From there, we can start getting curious about all of the things that led us to this result and work on creating new results that serve us better. No shame or judgement required.
