Choosing Mindful Response over Reactivity in Meditation
"Right now" doesn't refer to the person you're talking to. The thought of getting rid of someone may come up, but you don't have to react to it. Meditation is about acknowledging, naming, and allowing thoughts without reacting. Instead of reacting, respond and hold space. Mindfulness allows you to sit, observe your thoughts, desires, and plans without engaging with them. This practice de-conditions your habitual responses to both external and internal stimuli."
