Video Summary:

When we use passive language (he said that and he ā€œMADEā€ me angry) it’s so easy to get stuck in a reaction to something, felling quite justified in that reaction.

It’s a process I call the 4 Rā€™s. Something happens and you React, then you Replay the situation, the third R is where you Rehearse the story, ready for the 4th ā€œRā€ where you Recite the story to someone else, or yourself.

This unconscious pattern is another way that we feed the stress and fatigue cycle. It’s often something weā€™ve unconsciously trained ourselves to do over time.

Using the right approach we can retrain this habit, along with lots of others that cause us stress and fatigue.
