Although it isn\u2019t a much reliable option, I guess you could try to pause in that moment right before you do something to prove someone wrong, and think about why you\u2019re doing it.

This grants you an autonomy of mind to give you agency over your actions and reactions. Jessie Zhu at Positive Psychology says &quot;Our mind is extremely skillful at storing information about how we react to a certain event to form a blueprint of our emotional life. Such information often ends up conditioning our mind to react in a certain way as we encounter a similar event in the future. Self-awareness allows us to be conscious of this conditioning and preconceptions of the mind, which can form the foundation of freeing the mind from it.\u201d The mind can control your behavior as long as you aren&#39;t consciously paying attention to it. You don&#39;t have to always be defined by it. And meditation is not the only way to accomplish this, but it is proven to be extremely effective.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peer Z.
