Daylight

Between stimulus and response

My coping shortcut is my nervous system’s drive-thru.

• Fast.

• Familiar.

• Available.

I Scroll.

Or Snack.

Or Snap.

Or Shut down.
Anything to get through that moment.

I’m under enough heat without adding shame to my list but sometimes my smallest freedom is:

Noticing my urge before obeying it.

My friend Steve often says, “Smith, there’s always daylight between stimulus and response”.

Daylight matters.

Your daylight:
Here’s 1 thing haunting me right now ______ & here’s 1 shortcut I reach for ______.

See you in class,
