Once\u00a0I SEE,<\/strong>\u00a0everything begins to shift.
It\u2019s a bit like theatre.
You\u2019re watching your own life\u00a0
from the distance of an observer.
You watch, just to watch.
You\u2019re learning\u00a0
not to react reactively.
\u2026I know \ud83d\ude42
That\u2019s Step 2.
I see, and\u2026 I don\u2019t react.<\/strong>
We all know this one.
An argument with your partner \ud83d\ude42
Both of you got emotionally triggered,\u00a0
your red buttons pressed.
Everyone\u2019s got their own reasons.
Everyone\u2019s burning with their misunderstood emotions.<\/u><\/strong>
Aaaaaaaaaa!
War \ud83d\ude42\u00a0
And then comes the line, the perfect comeback.
Your king of arguments.
But you know if you say it out loud,
you\u2019ll both explode your fight onto another planet.
And you know you shouldn\u2019t say it,
if you care about not escalating things.
\u201cShut up\u2026\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0
You whisper to yourself inside.
And\u2026
Aaaa fuck it.
I just had to say it.
And off I go\u2026
And in a moment, both of you are flying.
Even though deep down you know,
there was probably that one moment\u00a0
when it could\u2019ve been stopped.
When silence was needed.\u00a0
When you start observing your life,
there comes a moment\u00a0
when you see those exact moments.\u00a0
Yep. That was it.<\/strong>
You didn\u2019t manage to stop it this time
but wow.
I noticed it!

That\u2019s the first Success.
To See.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now for the next 100 times
you\u2019ll just keep noticing.
Those moments.
Until the 101st time\u00a0
you\u2019ll manage to Stop.
You won\u2019t do what you\u2019ve always done.
You won\u2019t react like always.\u00a0
Yep. Again.<\/strong>
And that inner feeling of pride?
Wow.
I stopped\u2026
Wow.
I held back\u2026
And the fight changed direction.
Because I changed the direction.
<\/strong>Because first inside
and then outside
our world begins to change.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the second Success.
To Stop.

To stop doing what you\u2019ve always done.
To stop reacting on autopilot.
To stop running in the hamster wheel.
To make space for something new.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
