I AM WILLING TO DO BETTER

If you are human, you get triggered.
Have you been here — I used to get triggered and then spin out and stay soooo mad and bratty haha — about how so and so is hurting me, how this is the worst and things aren’t going to get better and I have no control over anything blah blah blah
Ya know, real victimy mindset stuff. Barf.
And to be honest I still do get triggered OF COURSE — because I’m human — I just catch myself before I go into the shitty stories.
I now see my triggers as cute lil indicators of where I can do better.
“Oh you cute lil trigger, elevating my heart rate and stressing me out. Let’s see what you’re about.”
I look at why I’m triggered — I don’t pass off my trigger to other people.
I am always responsible for how I see things. And I can change that.
And yes some times triggers are indicators of how you can ask people to treat you if the person making you feel triggered is actually being harmful.
It’s an empowering thing, to recognize where you can do better.
It creates better relationships, better self leadership.
And don’t we all want more of that? I do.
