How to not react to your environment.
First, realize that it is Your environment. You create the environment via your thoughts.
You feel things- situational factors are of your own definition. Mental Conditioning shapes how you perceive the environment; therefore, you define the environment, rather than you being a mere player within it who is defined by it. So as to not be an actor, nor the director (as it would be embarrassing to be in charge of it all) one must shift their perception, not
only of the situation, but of themselves. A paradigm shift in totality. It is difficult to use skills we know we do not have, and to think in a language that we have not learned is a seemingly impossible thing to do; but when you change your mind about who you “are”, how you act and react, if you want to change all the things that (to this point) make you “you”, you must become Not you, therefore come-up with a new way in which the voice in your brain talks to you. You must also be the change what that voice brings to your attention. When that voice no longer knows the “you”, and begins to question and becomes unfamiliar with the environmental change (within), only then can a new brand of thought and a new person emerge. We are frightened by things unknown, just as we are excited by the unknown. As the voice in our heads uses what it knows to make sense of any given environment, when the unknown is strived for- a language in your head becomes a new, learning adventure. After creating this new realm and becoming conditioned by it, you again fall under the repetition of that new conditioning. Not really a fallacy- it seems to be the nature of many mental processes.
