This month moves you from automatic reactions to yourself and others into a creative, easy-going place where you have psychological flexibility and freedom to choose. Reactions are our brain’s automatic responses. Responses are consciously chosen to reflect our values. Creation is developing your own style of response that matches your personality and your values. It’s time to stop reacting and start creating.
