Consider another view or update an opinion · D4.4
Ask a curious question about your reaction
You want to understand an everyday response without attacking yourself.
Everyday practice
Try these steps
- Describe the reaction and the situation in which it occurred.
- Ask one open question: 'What mattered to me here?' or 'What did I expect?'
- Write a tentative answer and one fact that could help you check it.
An example
I felt irritated when plans changed. Was I concerned about losing preparation time?
Reflect
Did the question produce information rather than a self-judgment?
Next time
Leave the answer open if you do not yet know.
