Who's channel are you on?

 Who's channel are you on? 

Imagine that as we move throughout our day, and every emotional space that you encounter was a different channel. Imagine how many other channels you'd witness throughout your day. Now imagine how many different channels you experienced personally in one day. Knowing how to manage your emotions and being mindful of what you're adding to or taking away from the conversation is knowing if you're joining or changing channels. 

Knowing your partner and how they respond to anxiety is knowing what channel they are on. If you engage with them on their level, you just entered their channel. Keep in mind that your partner can be anyone. Your co-worker, parent, sibling, relative, or even a stranger. The different channels are synonymous with happy, sad, frustrated, angry, mad, joyous, inviting, stand-offish, depressed, anxious, stressed, grieving, and many others. 

This week's goal is to self-evaluate and know what channel you're on and who's changing your channel. 

Everyone is responsible for themselves, and you are responsible for how you interact and respond to and with others. And if you go to their channel and it turns out poorly for you, remember you went there willingly. 

The goal is to be mindful of how you respond if you enter another's channel, and regardless of what you do, allow your decision to be yours and not a decision or choice made because you were provoked or enticed to enter their channel.
