Identify Your Triggers

Alive Not Just Breathing

Are you someone who is triggered easily by other people's comments or do you find yourself either reacting or overthinking what people think when someone has said something about you? When we take a step back and also realise that aside from the other person usually highlighting their own insecurities by attempting to trigger you, there must also be a reason it touched a nerve, that then allows us to do the work to inspect why that is and where it comes from. When there is zero truth in what people say about us, it won't trigger us. But when any tiny part of us feels there is an element of truth in what's been said (or our mind tells us we do) that's when we tend to react badly. This episode touches on this and other things to take into consideration about self esteem, how we perceive ourselves (and how that affects the energy we give off to others) and how to learn to stop allowing anyone to have that power over us.
