__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">HABIT 1: Be Proactive __


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Think about a situation in your work or personal life that frustrates you and that you tend to respond to reactively. Briefly describe this situation: **


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">When I am interrupted…
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">breathe, then either attempt to continue conversation OR think about what was just said, then respond.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">When someone asks a loaded question (one that infers a questionable fact)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Either say, "I don't know how to respond to that question" OR "Your question suggests..." or "Are you asking / assuming...".
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">For me to answer may falsely make you think I agree". THEN, answer the questions only responding to the piece that makes me feel safe.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">When someone uses condescending words, tone or body language
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Go brain-dead / breathe
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">When someone takes advantage of me
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">If I had no hand in it, ignore it. If I did, identify that and remember for next time.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">When someone ignores me or acts like I'm air
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Go brain-dead / breathe
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">When someone treats me poorly, then reacts angrily when I object.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Go brain-dead / breathe, but DON'T feel bad for speaking up for yourself.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">When someone imposes expectations on me that are not welcome...
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Go brain-dead / breathe


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Identify some of the “hot buttons” that trigger a reactive response in you. **


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Identify the circumstances, mood, or feelings that contribute to your reactive responses. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">sudden speech
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">lack of physical acknowledgement
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">quick movement
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">loud or inaudible speech


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">List which situations you can directly affect in your circle of influence. **


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Identify what situations are only a part of your circle of concern. **


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Consider your Circle of Influence at work, at home, and in the community. Identify a specific situation in which you could become a transition figure. **<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">[]


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Explain the steps you will take to become a transition figure in this situation and the results you anticipate. **
