When this happens, that happens
Someone sticks their hand out to for a shake, we immediately stick our hand out
Or a firework goes off and that war hero gets startled
Some stimulus’ we can’t be prepared for
The death of a person, a sickness, weather
But we can always choose our responses to whatever life throws at us
And it may even be better to prepare for things situations now, while they’re at rest…
And we can prepare our stimulus too
“Mom I’m pregnant” “what?!” “just kidding but i did get a 50 on my test” “well that’s not so bad”
Sometimes if we want a certain response, we just have to tweak the stimulus.
