The Michelle Chalfant Show — Life from the Adult Chair 395: Managing Triggers at the Holidays
'Tis the season…for triggers!
At the holidays, stress, drinking, spending money and spending time with others all increase. And with that, comes a decrease in patience, sleep, time for self and all the things that make us more resilient to stress.
Add in the fact that we tend to be around people we aren't normally around for longer periods of time, and it's a landmine for triggers.
But as you know, I love triggers because they are such a powerful opportunity to look at and work on our limiting beliefs.
So, I invite you to view this year's triggers as a holiday gift…a chance to not only learn about yourself but eradicate triggers for good.
Don't worry: I'm not sending you out there without a plan. I'm giving you 10 steps to work with a trigger so you can be prepared for whatever comes your way this holiday season.
The first four steps will help you regulate your nervous system, calm down and come back into balance when triggered. These are a lifesaver if you're at a gathering where you need to keep your cool until you can work on the trigger!
Then the last six steps will teach you exactly how to work with your triggers so you can heal the limiting beliefs beneath them, get unstuck and get triggered a whole lot less in the future.

10 steps to work with a trigger
Sure, maybe triggers are like finding a pair of socks wrapped up under the tree – not what you wanted, but what you needed. They're still a gift!
I hope you discover so much about yourself this holiday season and transform those triggers so you can live with more peace all year long!
