Feeding the Calm Wolf of Silence
The speaker mentions that when faced with a situation where someone is upset with them, the natural response is to engage in a flurry of follow-up thinking and actions, like damage control and apologizing. However, the key insight shared is to resist the urge to react immediately and instead, focus on calming oneself, taking a moment to breathe, and letting go of the stories in the mind. By embracing silence and being present in the moment, one can avoid being hooked by the wolf of anxious reactions and enjoy a more peaceful life.
