Trackback a week or so of your life and connect what you felt and how you respond to others.Questions to consider when I am working on my own heart.
Questions to consider when I am working on my own heart.
1) Can you track back and connect what you felt and how you responded to the scenarios in the last seven days?
Brian’s perspective: Usually, when you are only dealing with a few (people) or responses to those people, that is not enough to see your pattern. You need a larger sample size to see if this is true of your knee jerk reactions or snapbacks.
If you only connect with 1-2 people a day in 7 days, the data may not support your concern about how you are responding to folks.
1) What is Brian’s Response about Snapback and knee jerk reactions when I m in conversations with people in life. I see 10-20 per day on average, and I notice that I do not snapback or react to people because my heart intentions, plans, and expectations are not to control their reactions to my preferences.
2) When meeting people daily, I start with a spiritual focus and heart plan to connect with people. Once I am in their presence, then listen to them, then watch where I may be triggered in the listening process to want to “Snapback” as you wrote, possibly," or “control” in my case others’ responses.
3) Once I catch my reaction, I can track this with the next person I meet, then I can look at the data gathered at the end of seven days.
4) I know my patterns with people daily. Now I can measure out of 70 -100 engagements what percentage of them were “Snap Back,” Knee jerk reactions.
I am less likely to snap back at people I am with because I am breathing in and out freely with people organically flowing with them as we connect instead of subconsciously not preferring to accept what I disagree with
You Wrote, “I find myself wanting to snap back or have a knee jerk reaction.”

5) Sometimes, collecting your heart before you assess and evaluate possible heart outcomes may be helpful.
6) Once you determine what the data in your life has recorded, what you are asking God to show, you may be within the past week, but you missed it.
7) Were you triggered by situations in your life by trying to perform, Behave, or prove something recently? The data you gather on “motives” over some time may be helpful to you going forward as you gather more heart insights
2 Timothy 2:24 – Bible Gateway
As a servant of the Lord, you must not argue. You must be kind to everyone. You must be a good teacher, and you must be patient. 25 It would help if you gently taught those who disagree with you.
Maybe God will let them change their hearts so that they can accept the truth.
