Triggers are things, people, events, situations, colors, music--literally anything--that set off a negative reaction in your mind and sometimes also parts of your body.  Note: This episode was taken from a Facebook Live broadcast and the content is stellar; however, the sound isn't perfect.  In this week's episode: Triggers are anything (people, events, dates, songs, etc.) that set you off and affect you--usually negatively. It is a thought, feeling, physical reaction in your body. Everyone has triggers. Triggers may come and go but, ultimately you determine what/who will allow to trigger you as well as those that won't. Identifying your triggers takes focus and reflection, but knowing what triggers you and how to effectively deal with them will improve your productivity. You are 100% in control of what goes through your social media feeds. Like, comment, share, save, archive posts that you want to see more of in the future. Mute accounts (silence for a period of time you choose) that you don't want to see. Delete posts that you don't want to see or that trigger you right now. Block posts and or accounts that you no longer want to see at all. You can always unblock them in the future. When you are triggered, you can ignore the trigger (person, song, event, situation, etc.) but this can be difficult. You can remove yourself from the same space that the person, song, etc. is or you can limit the times that you are in the same space.  Surround yourself with positive people, songs, etc, that will help you to move through your day successfully and soften the effects of the triggers. When you are able to identify your triggers, the trigger no longer has as much power--YOU have the power. Our energy will go wherever our focus goes. Nothing can trigger you unless you allow it to.
