The document contrasts reactive and proactive responses. Reactive responses involve negative self-talk, criticism of others, and avoiding tasks one dislikes. Proactive responses instead provide constructive feedback to others, make an effort to engage with unenjoyable activities, and focus on personal growth rather than external criticism when things don't go well.
