Every time I turn around I hear something that doesn’t sit right with me, something that provokes me, elicits worry, sometimes anger, and even fear that can lead to depression for me. The ongoing news of sadness of friends’ losses or challenges with my own family, or global injustices really sometimes overwhelm me as one who cares so much.
In other words, every day I can be triggered and it seems to be more present than ever. Again, I attribute a lot of that to the multiple streams of information pumped into my space daily. But regardless, they have the potential to ‘trigger’ me. Trigger, meaning to produce a negative emotional reaction.
And the more I interact with women today, the more I see how many women have taken to pulling back, living defensively, and feel victimized by the world today.
So few are prepared and meeting challenges they face daily with joy and with boldness and confidence. Most I know are praying to avoid hard times.
Now I am not saying to test God or provoke the muses. But what I am saying is that we must get ahold of ourselves. We must become students of ourselves and others – not judges and critics.
So the next time you feel ‘triggered’ or emotionally reactive…before you do or say anything, try the following.
Adopt the attitude that says and starts with…
1. God is doing what’s best and loves me deeply.
2. There is more to the story than I understand right now.
3. Seek to understand before being understood.
4. When things don’t sit right with me, I get curious not condemning.
Be mindful to come from a place of giving the benefit of the doubt, believing the best, and trusting God.
The confidence in YOU will grow. YOU will learn to make molehills out of mountains and with so much less emotional energy being discharged, you will get so much more done with less. Before you know it, you look forward to your days again and you are powerfully advancing.
Oh, and did I mention the clarity, confidence, and peace you will add to your life every time you meet a challenge like this?
This is a skill we will elaborate on. I understand it takes practice.
