When any information comes in for evaluation....how do I react?

1. Professional context (e.g., work, project):

• I pause and verify the facts.

• I consider the source of the information.

• I analyze whether it's relevant for the decision.

• I compare it with available data.

• I draw conclusions or make recommendations.

Example reaction: "First, I check the credibility of the information, and then I analyze it in the context of the project goals."

2. Personal or emotional context:

• I take a deep breath and avoid reacting immediately.

• I acknowledge how I feel.

• I ask myself: Is this objective? Is it really about me?

• I try to respond calmly, not impulsively.

Example reaction: "I reflect on why this information triggered me emotionally, and then I decide how to act."

3. Everyday communication:

• I listen to what the other person is saying.

• I ask follow-up questions.

• I consider whether I have enough information to respond.
