How to respond instead of react sounds simple until the moment actually arrives, and your body has already decided for you.
That’s the gap Episode 102 of the Magnetic Communication Podcast explores. Sandy Gerber just returned from 10 days of total silence at a Vipassana meditation retreat: no phone, no talking, reading or writing, 8 sittings a day, 10.5 hours of meditation, over 100 hours by the end of it.
On day five, something clicked for Sandy in a single moment on the cushion, one she’d been teaching in her workshops for years without ever fully feeling it herself. How to respond instead of react in your communication. It’s the same mechanism behind the EQ Switch, and this episode walks through exactly what happened and the tool that helps you to regulate your emotion.
If you’ve ever reacted to something before you had the chance to choose your response, this episode gives you the tool Sandy confirmed on that cushion, and it doesn’t require a retreat to use.
Connected Conversations, Sandy’s upcoming book, is live for pre-order now, with limited-time bonuses on her keynotes, workshops, and coaching that expire August 13th. Listen to the full episode, then head to connectedconversationsbook.com to be part of the story.
