For a few years, it was the case that I handled situations based on my emotions.I believe I am beginning to learn how to respond instead of react. “That has changed the quality of my life…,” Anushka Sharma said during a promotional event for a sports brand. The actor noted that her thoughtful way of dealing with circumstances and individuals has benefited her husband Virat Kohli as well, saying: “It has changed my life and yours?…” while grinning widely at the cricketer and indicating his rash responses during matches.

Dr. Adamina Gupta, a psychologist at the LimbiQ Centre for Psychiatry in Delhi, stated that ultimately we are left with nothing but a profound feeling of regret. “What should be important is finding a way to leave that state behind, training our minds to behave in a better way, and opting to respond with composure instead. She informed indianexpress.com, “Our inclination to act in a particular manner arises from both biology and experience.”
