I like this. Its short and Chris gives an example which instantly makes you realise the point straight away. What else could it mean? is a way of stopping yourself from imagining why something is happening and fastening onto just one explanation. It gives you a pause to let other possibilities in, which would mean that you wouldn't get so wound up when faced with an annoying situation. Helpful I thought!

“What else could this mean” is a tool of empathy. I like it

"You have a cavity and need to lay off the candy and soda" " what else could this mean?" lol. Good point though really

[@markrene6108]

Saying 'What does this mean' gives you a moment to catch yourself & to breath before anger or another emotion takes over. The emotion will dissipate if you look inside yourself for the answer to that question. Everything in reality arises from the self, awareness. Be a Seer 👀 of truth & knowledge. We take the external as truth from a ego view that is an illusion. If we want to be in the presence of Divinity open the gift, the Present & live mainly there. If we live in the Present the illusion will fall away & you will be in the presence of God.

I apply this all the time when I'm driving behind a very slow car.

This didn’t help me at all. I really wanted this to be profound but it’s just not. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I have a friend who's an alcoholic. No judgement,I was one too. But when he's argumentative and difficult,I need to remember that it's really difficult to be in withdrawal, and I need to have empathy.This was a great reminder that we need to have empathy for others

I can imagine accidentally rear ending someone and they coming out screaming at me and me just being like sh sh sh.... what else could this mean?...

[@imho2278]

Start by spelling 'defuse' correctly in your title. 'Diffuse' means to spread out, or soak into something.
