Learning Change

Not as patient as you think you are? Surprised by how quickly you lose your cool when someone shows you an imagined show of disrespect? All we can do in those situations is react. But why do we do what we do? How can we improve our actions? Repeated bad behavior becomes a bad habit. How can we break this vicious cycle?
