Trigger Happy.
We all have our triggers, weather they are those little annoyances and pet hates that really get under our skin. Or major actions or events that have changed our lives and it could be a sound, or a scent or a sensation that brings you right back to that emotional state.
Triggers are not always a bad thing, we can also have positive ones. The feel of a certain material, the sight of a particular landmark or the taste of a particular kind of food can bring back good memories and but you in a good emotional state.
We live in a complex world with a myriad of challenges that we have to wrestle with everyday, No wonder we suffer from road rage, rudeness, sleeplessness and burnout. Is it really any wonder we can all become a little sharp sometimes?
All this stress, discomfort and tension is not good for us and all of these symptoms mentioned above and more obviously leave us triggered.
What can we do about our triggers? How can we turn these frustrations into something that no longer bothers us? There are many modalities to help with triggers. One very effective technique is included in my 10 day Cultivate Confidence Course and I'm going to share it with you now.
Think about who the people around you? Are they contributing positively or negatively towards your mental health and general well being? Are they supportive helpful and understanding? Or are they critical, unreliable and manipulative?
Think about your relationships and what the dynamics are like. People either grow together or grow apart, are the individuals in your circle earning a right to be there? Sometimes the truth may hurt but some people are just toxic and need to exit your life.
You may want to faze them out gradually, spend less time with them and stop calling them or you might want to cut them out sharpish, especially of they are hot on triggering you.
Similarly watch your own behaviours, don't engage in gossip, don't be judgemental or critical. If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. Concentrate on the good things about your life and not the bad. If you find yourself in a situation where the conversation is taking a nosedive towards cattiness try and shift the conversation in a different direction if that doesn't work make your excuses and leave.
This act of avoiding people who are lowering your vibe and watching your own words can really be effective in diminishing triggers. By identifying triggers we can learn to eliminate them or at the very least figure out a way to manage them in a healthy manner.
