Success Habit #5: Choice - Choosing a Drama Free Zone - Londina Cruz & Donna Kunde

Londina Cruz & Donna Kunde - “Building Success Habits”

PROFIT RADIO..."Grow With Us"

Introduction
“When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.”— Dr. Seuss

“While we cannot always choose what happens to us, we can choose our responses.” — Stephen R. Covey

Todays’ show is all about drama. Not the type that movies are made of. The type of drama we are talking about today is about negative attention and misunderstandings, assumptions and negative fallout. The good news is that when we become aware that we always have a Choice in how we respond, we are fortifying Success Habit #5 - Choice, and the ability to choose a drama free zone.

Start by joining our new group in the Community of Commerce - Building Success Habits where we continue the thought conversations that arise during the show.

Objectives - The WHY
You always have a choice - choose to rise about drama or get sucked into it. Choosing drama diffuses our creativity; drains our mental, emotional and physical energy; adds to our stress levels; blurs our focus and becomes the building blocks for resentment, resistance and revenge. The key here is to recognize when we are getting pulled into one of the drama zones, and instead of playing into that zone, choose a different response instead.

Key Issues - Owner Perspective:

1. Drama is addictive and diffuses creativity
2. Drama is a blindspot
3. We can either cause drama, instigate drama or attract drama
4. Not recognizing and resolving drama can lead to resentment, resistance and revenge

What You Need to Know - The WHAT
There are four pillars of drama that become the building blocks for resentment, resistance and revenge. The degree to which we experience drama is called a blind spot.

The 4 Attitudes or Characters that show up in Drama:

1. The Know-it-all jumps to conclusions
2. The Woe-is-me looks to be offended
3. The Storyteller makes stuff up
4. The Skeptic does not declare noble intent 
5. The fallout: Resentment, Resistance and/or Revenge

What You Need to Do​​ - The HOW

1. Each moment is a choice. That is why it is important to stop and examine negative feelings and responses when they show up. Examining why we entertain something or think a certain way is so important.
2. Ask yourself these questions: 
   1. Is this my business?
   2. Is this someone else’s business?
3. Self Reflection Questions:
   1. What drama do I have in my life today?
   2. Where can I find it and which people are always close by when the drama comes around?
   3. Am I doing, saying or thinking anything that is contributing to this drama on any level?
   4. What would I have to do (thought or action) to remove myself from these situations and prevent myself from being involved in the future?
