It is perfectly normal to get upset when upsetting things happen. And we often feel our only options are to react or accept. But neither of these options works for our sanity and well-being. If we want to survive, let alone thrive, during these times, we need to shift into a different gear. Hear Beth discuss responding vs. reacting and allowing instead of accepting. How are they different? How do you exercise this new gear? Tune into this show for helpful guidelines for you and the well-being of all. We are The Stream, a non-profit organization and online community dedicated to building the world we want through cultivating courage, awareness and creativity. We offer programs of all sorts to help us to co-create that world NOW.
