You know those times you’ve found yourself saying or thinking the words “This (so and so) makes me SOOOO angry!” ? Or “I’m so angry I could __________”?
Or how about when you see a post come up in your facebook feed from someone claiming they had another five figure month…and you begin to feel annoyed, frustrated…or start to experience comparisonitis…
From an energetic place..these words and thoughts imply that you have no control…you are a victim to what is happening to you…
But..what if we shifted these words for a moment…instead of something making you so angry….what if it was “this really triggered me” or “I feel really triggered right now.”
It completely changes the dialogue..now the energy is no longer being taken from you (or being given away by you), you are actively participating in it..you see that you are involved…
Being triggered means that there is something within you that arises due to something external to you…it’s like opening a wound that you didn’t know (or didn’t want to know was there)…
Being triggered is a reminder that something within you is ready to heal, ready to shift, you are ready for a change in perspective (for growth)…it’s is an opportunity – NOT a sentence or punishment.
It puts the power back in your hands…it gives you the ability to use it as a tool to get stronger, clearer, more aware, to move forward and no longer have that type of situation or experience knocking you off course…
It can mean the difference between making more money, setting stronger boundaries, making healthier friendships/relationships, loving your work, your clients..and more.
It is a sign that you’re ready to level up.
It’s the wound saying – I’m ready to be healed.
What’s one thing that has triggered you lately..and what message could it be holding for you?
