Did you get a curveball thrown your way? Something that you completely didn’t expect. Or maybe something that you’ve been trying to avoid, and you received some news about.
It can be upsetting or challenging to get some news, and other times you’re jumping for joy that it happened. Either option can change your life for better or worse. Sometimes what you need is to take a step back and gain a little perspective. Or maybe you’re being triggered and meant to confront it, so you can address it and become more empowered in your life.
Triggers are a challenge. They’re meant to teach you something, but at that moment all you can do is think or feel what’s happening.
You don’t want to deal with it right now. It’s not the time. It’s not the place. You have other things to do. There are a number of reasons why. Life will normally trigger you at the worst possible moment. A conversation that will leave you emotional right before you need to be somewhere. A difficult moment right in front of your co-workers.
You don’t want to show emotion in these moments. You don’t want to seem defeated, angry, or name an emotion, but you’re meant to feel the emotion. The emotion is what will help you to process the trigger.
Give yourself time to process the trigger, develop an action plan and gain some perspective. Confronting your triggers is the only way for you to truly become empowered.
Triggers aren’t mean to be an annoyance, they just happen that way. Triggers are meant to move you forward. Triggers are meant to move you forward. If you choose to ignore your trigger, that’s ok too, but it will come back. Until you confront it, it will always return. And the next thing it will be a little more annoying.
