Living Well

Each of us has trigger points
that, when touched, hook us into
old patterns of insecurity, fear,
anger and a need to escape. We
try blaming the person or situation
tripped these traps, but ultimately,
it is we who react…the same issue
could be easily ignored by others.

When you feel discomfort, anger, restlessness,
bored, look for a trigger point. It is not
necessary to under why this triggers you.
The important thing to do is to observe it,
“Oh, there is that feeling of judgment (anger,
jealousy,fear, etc.) again. Interesting how
it crops up from time to time.” Do not condemn
yourself, simply observe and do not act on your
feeling. Let it rise and float away like a soap
bubble. We have the power to choose to act or
not. When we consistently practice observing
rather than reacting to our trigger points,
they lose their power over us.
