I managed to use some skill in real-time #today, in a conversation my old mind would have only met with reactive anger and frustration.

Instead of frustration, I asked questions and sought to understand. I learned some helpful things and maybe convinced others to lead with curiosity more, through my example.

I modeled some possible responses to the matter at hand directly. I saw others recognize what I was doing and approve. I think I turned a mind away from parroting unhelpfully vague sentiments and towards kindly interrogating to learn more.

I felt I was leaning towards disengaging from this particular frustration so I am glad I persisted. I think I have created an opening with this person to repeat which I think will be needed to fully turn their mind.
