Proactive choice is a skill integral to well-being. Yet more often than not, when facing a triggering situation, we react emotionally, which can lead to problems.
The choices we make play a role in how much we trust in our ability to effect positive change in our lives.
The choices we make influence our self-perception of whether or not we can trust ourselves. Our ability to make a good choice, defined as one that results in a good outcome for us, takes place when we consider our own needs and the needs of others before taking action. When we know that someone is interested in interacting with us because of our proactive choice, we feel good and begin to trust in our ability to interact again. And so the cycle repeats in a reciprocal fashion. This cycle forms the building blocks of meaningful relationships, which, in turn, shapes our perception of the value we bring to the world around us. Positive perception promotes emotional well-being.
An obvious negative outcome of an emotionally driven reaction would be an ensuing exchange of words that may or may not lead to an argument. This certainly wouldn't be a pleasant experience. However, there are other negative outcomes that naturally ensue that are far more damaging in the long term., negative social interactions can diminish it. We lose trust in our ability to interact effectively and consider avoiding engaging in future interactions a safer bet.
