Episode notes

Recognizing emotional triggers is crucial for managing reactions. The first step involves acknowledging feelings of anger or frustration and allowing oneself to breathe and regain composure. High emotions often suppress logical thinking, leading to regrettable decisions. There are five levels of awareness regarding emotional triggers: Level one recognizes anger as an issue; level two identifies physical sensations indicating activation of emotions; level three perceives the onset of these sensations before they escalate; level four involves recognizing internal dialogue that prompts emotional shifts; and level five examines the origins of these thoughts and feelings. Developing awareness through these levels allows for better emotional regulation and understanding of underlying issues, emphasizing the importance of processing emotions effectively.

In today's episode, we're diving into why we get triggered and, more importantly, how to stop it. Ever feel like someone or something is setting you off? Well, we’re flipping the script and taking back control. It's not about what others do – it's about how we react. I’ll walk you through 5 levels of awareness to help you understand and manage your emotions, so you can stop letting outside things control how you feel. Plus, I'll share some personal stories and tips on how to breathe through those moments and shift your mindset.
