DON’T OVER-REACT - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 246

In this brief but insightful episode, Dr. Shaw examines the ways in which we can create more stress than necessary with those who are the closest to us, especially when we live with someone.  What happens is that rather than take a deep breath and let it pass when something stressful happens, we can often have a tendency to bring our own baggage to the relationship and elevate the stress of the situation in a way that really could have been avoided.  The most important strategy is to simply not take any one moment too seriously.  Yes, there are some people in our lives who are such quality people that time spent with them is automatically fulfilling... but the work is in exercising the muscle of restraint and not to over-react.
