I understand it’s not always easy. Please keep an open mind and heart while entertaining the possibilities!
Cultivate Self-Awareness:
The first step in transcending triggers is to develop a deep sense of self-awareness. Observe your emotions and reactions without judgment. Understand that triggers stem from unresolved wounds and past experiences. By acknowledging and accepting these emotions, you empower yourself to address them with love and compassion.
Practice Mindful Presence:
Engage in mindfulness practices to anchor yourself in the present moment. When triggered, take a pause, and bring your attention to your breath.
