2. Why does this affect me so much? Be as objective as possible to uncover why the current situation is triggering an ego response. If possible, take some quiet time to work things through. Think of the brain as having a low road and a high road. It takes 15 microseconds to access the low road and 100 microseconds to access the high road—the difference is long enough for you to catch yourself before you respond. If your reaction is completely unconscious, you go straight to the low road which triggers defensiveness. Catching yourself and taking your response to the high road triggers emotional intelligence, giving you a chance to overcome the situation in a productive manner. So, check outside of yourself.
