Humans often avoid triggers, when we resolve them, it sets us free.
As funny yet complex human beings, we have a tendency to spend a significant amount of time and energy avoiding, suppressing, numbing out from and denying our emotions. We often try to escape from uncomfortable feelings by distracting ourselves with activities, substances, or even by pretending that everything is fine.
However, avoiding our emotions only leads to more inner turmoil and can prevent us from truly understanding ourselves and finding peace.
It is important to acknowledge and process our emotions in order to heal and grow as individuals. situations, people, or things that trigger us emotionally. This can be a natural response to protect ourselves from discomfort or pain. However, by constantly avoiding these triggers, we may find ourselves stuck in a cycle of fear and limitation.
Every emotion is valid, it's rooted in what you are thinking and believing in that moment, that is it. The event, person, place or thing is neutral.
When we choose to lean in, face and resolve what triggers us, we can experience a sense of freedom and empowerment. By confronting our triggers head-on (with gentleness), we have the opportunity to heal and grow from our past experiences. Instead of being controlled by our triggers, we can learn to navigate them with grace and resilience.
Ultimately, by addressing and resolving our triggers, we can create a sense of inner peace and harmony. We no longer need to live in fear of what may set us off, but rather embrace the opportunity for growth and self-discovery. In doing so, we can break free from the limitations that hold us back and truly live our lives to the fullest.
Every emotion is valid, it's a symptom of thought. Do you want to live in a negative emotion or be set free?
