Habit 1 Question 1

Recall a time when you were more reactive than proactive. Describe the situation thoroughly, then describe how/if you think things would have turned out differently if you had been proactive instead.

  1. The time I was more reactive than proactive was when my sister and I were arguing about something stupid, and not important, and I blew up at her and told her to move back to Alaska. Things would have turned out differently if I wouldn't have brought up the question, I never would have said that to make her upset. I eventually apologized after I cooled down for awhile.

  2. 1. A time that i was more reactive is probably a couple weeks ago when i did not have any responsibilities it would have turned out differently if i would have been proactive because i would have more responsibilities then.
    2. The human tule that refers to me is probably proactive

  3. There was one time when I was taking my senior pictures and it was hot and sticky and not a good time. My mother was trying her best to help me with everything but I just found it annoying. I blew up at her and at the time didn't really realize what I just did. After I was finished with my pictures I felt horrible because here she was helping me and I yelled at her. I think if I would have been more proactive about the situation I wouldn't have felt as bad and me and my mom would have had a better time together.

    1. I agree, Taylor. Sometimes you just get annoyed, and say things you don't mean, even though you don't really mean it.

  4. The time i was more reactive than proactive was when my brother and i were arguing about who was going to play the ps3. Well i ended up blowing up on him and taking the ps3 and hid it from him. If I would of just let him play it things would of been better because then I wouldn't of got grounded.

  5. A time when i was more reactive then i was proactive was when my uncle was diagnosed with psoriasis of the liver, this was about two months ago. My dad was diagnosed with this a few months before he died from cancer, on August 24th, a year ago. With my dad we found out he had cancer a month before he died. So my instant reaction was to think the worst of it. I think if i was more proactive in this situation, i wouldn't have over thought things and made it harder on myself.

  6. Two years ago on prom night i roll my moms trail blazer. I went over to my dates house to get her. I drive moms blazer over and she followed in her truck so she could get pictures and go home. When we got to my dates house we realized we forgot her Corsage and home. I got mad at mom and mom said she would go get if and i told her she would take to long so i went home to get it. I was going to fast and lost controle and rolled it a 3 time and stuck the blazer in a tree. Don't ask how the blazer and i ended un in a tree but we did. Thankfully i walked away from the wreck and i went to prom that nigh. If i would have thought proactive it probably would have turned out a lot better. I should have told my mom that it was my fault and let her go get the corsage.

  11. Alright so this one time in Spanish class I was more reactive than proactive. This girl had been giving me and my best friends trouble for like a month and it got to the point where I was just sick of her. She even came to my house and was pulling in and out of my driveway being stupid. So on that next Monday I went to the counselor to see what I should do. They told me they couldn't do anything about it and they would talk to her. I was like whatever. So later in the day I walked into Spanish and she confronted me about it and started spazzing on me in front of everybody. Pretty soon we were full out yelling/cussing at each other. Our teacher got pretty upset and told us to settle down. So i turned around in my seat and I was done until she said something. It was pretty bad. So I got up and started yelling at her and went to the back of the room where she was sitting and I asked her what she said and told her to say it to my face and she kept saying she didnt say anything. Well I got even more mad so I went to the other side of the table and punched her in the head and yeah. I didn't really think before I acted because I was so angry. I ended up getting suspended over someone who wast worth it. I should have just talked to someone or told her how I felt about the way she treated me.

  12. I was talking to my sister and asked to get me something from our room and she didn't and I yelled at her. I should have talked to her and told her that I was just asking. I should of been more understanding than demanding in the situation.

  13. One time i was reactive was when i got in trouble because of my car. i blamed my car breaking down on the engine. i could have been more proactive by not blaming my car. i could have taken the heat instead
