It's understandable to feel the urge to immediately respond when we receive a message that triggers our emotions. However, taking a moment to carefully consider the message before reacting can be beneficial. It's important to make sure we have interpreted the message correctly and that our response won't lead to regret. Remember, our emotions can change over time, and the response we have in the heat of the moment may not be the same as in a day or so. That's why waiting before responding to a message might be helpful. During this time, we can reflect on the situation, analyse our emotions and thoughts, and evaluate our response. This process can help us make a more informed decision about how to respond. Plus, waiting can prevent us from responding impulsively, which could make the situation worse.

In this episode, we'll explore the benefits of waiting before responding to messages that trigger intense emotions. We'll discuss how waiting can help us avoid regrettable responses and make better decisions. We'll also consider strategies that can be used to manage our emotions while waiting.
