Beyond Pushing Buttons
In this episode of the Infinitely Precious Podcast, James Henry reflects on the challenge of reactivity—those moments when irritation, fear, or anger trigger an immediate response we later regret. Sharing both personal stories and practical insights, he contrasts the quick reactions that diminish dignity with the mindful, responsive way modeled by Jesus. Through practices like meditation, breath prayers, pausing before speaking, and noticing the body’s signals of rising anger, James encourages listeners to cultivate self-awareness and choose responses that bring peace rather than escalate conflict. He reminds us that while reactivity can feel powerful in the moment, true strength lies in slowing down, breathing, and responding with compassion. Above all, he reassures listeners that even when we fail, grace invites us to try again, remembering always that we are infinitely precious and unconditionally loved.
