Understanding Reactions

Your reactions will literally command your life. if you let them.

Reactions are automatic.
Subconscious.
Instant.
Trying to control them through willpower is about as effective as winning an argument with a toddler.
You don’t just react to events.
You react to what those events mean to you.
Your thoughts.
Your feelings.
Other people’s behaviour.
The news.
Your bank account.
Customers.
Staff.
Exes.
The mirror.
A pizza.
Literally everything.
And the reason you react the way you do isn’t because you’re weak, broken, emotional, or “bad at coping”.
It’s because of how you’re hard-wired to interpret meaning.
That wiring runs quietly in the background, deciding what’s threatening, what’s personal, what’s dangerous, what proves you’re failing, what needs defending — before you’ve even had a chance to think.
Here’s the part most people never get told:
If you change what you make things mean,
your reactions change automatically.
No forcing.
No suppressing.
No spiritual bypassing.
No “just think positive”.
Different meaning → different nervous system response → different behaviour → different life.
You don’t need more self-control.
You need a different internal operating system.
And yes... you get to choose.
You simply need to know how.
If you want to.
