In this episode, we with special guests Sherod Miller and Dan Lord explore another transformative element of the Awareness Wheel: recognizing and managing our reactions. Reactions are deeply rooted in our body and mind, and understanding them is a key step toward emotional balance and intentional action. 🌟
Learn how to identify reactions and navigate them with the Four R’s framework:1️⃣ Recognize: Catch the reaction early and name it—""name it to tame it.""2️⃣ Rebalance: Center yourself through mindfulness and breathwork to restore calm.3️⃣ Reflect: Turn inward to analyze and understand what triggered the reaction.4️⃣ Respond: Choose constructive actions that align with your values and goals.
Through this process, you'll gain self-awareness, build a stronger connection between your mind and body, and cultivate the ability to respond with choice rather than react impulsively.
💡 Whether you're working on personal growth, emotional regulation, or mindfulness practices, this approach provides actionable steps for meaningful change.

📬 Mailbag Question: ""Is my partner's infidelity a sign of sex addiction or just bad behavior?""
In this discussion, we explore the differences between infidelity and addictive behavior. When does a pattern of cheating signal a deeper issue like love or sex addiction? We dive into the key signs—obsession, compulsive behavior, using the affair as a coping mechanism—and the importance of identifying patterns across multiple behaviors. Addiction often goes beyond a single behavior, showing up in a ""trifecta"" of actions like pornography, fantasy, or inappropriate boundaries.
