Thanks to a previous episode with Dr. Kashey when we learned how to apply helpful negativity, Dr. Kashey now gives a deeper look into the response aspect of the stimulus-response model. We do not have control over everything, but we do have control over our response. Applying helpful negativity helps us efficiently control our emotions, thoughts, and actions rather than being the victim of them. Keeping this in mind in the midst of responding to a problem, we are able to thrive under any condition. Practicing self-respect will keep ourselves from being chronically victimized. Dr. Kashey again reminds us of the benefits of rational, constructive, and flexible scientific-mindedness.
