We all have times where triggers pop up for us when we’re faced with a situation or a person, these triggers bring about an internal emotional charge, whether it be sadness, irritation, anger, worry or any of those lower-level emotional vibrations that send us into a state of being that is undesirable.
When we switch into these states from these triggers we can often lay blame, point the finger, and project outwardly poor behavior or go into ourselves for the internal beat up.
When we learn that these triggers have arisen solely within us, that no one can make us feel anything only our own selves, we can start to own the feelings that arise within us and we can take our power back.
We create our own feelings from within, no one else creates that for us, something has charged us to an emotional reaction within our body that we need to address.
There really is a beautiful gift in the trigger, if we can allow ourselves to become the observer, to stop and take a look at what this emotional charge is trying to tell us, show us, or teach us we can discover the underlying messages.
Through the process of self-inquiry, we can have a new level of compassion for ourselves and a new level of understanding. We can work with what’s going on in our bodies rather than trying to lay blame on external circumstances.
Anything that goes on within us emotionally we are responsible for because we create our own emotions, sometimes this concept is difficult to consume because we are educated from a very young age that external circumstances are the cause of our emotions.
Through a trigger (event) that goes on externally, emotional charges fire off within us that drive us to take certain actions and behave in a certain way (often not good outcomes)
When we can actually look at these emotional charges, with kindness, and empathy, and compassion, we can learn a lot from what these emotional charges are trying to teach us.
We can ask “What is it that you are trying to tell me here, why are you showing up for me? Why am I triggered at this moment? What’s going on for me? Why do I feel a certain way about this? This self-inquiry really helps us to shift the emotional charge because we are bringing awareness to it, bringing the underlying reason for the eruption of our emotions to the surface which allows us to take back control.
This is the very first step to understanding and then shifting anything that’s not working for us? When we become aware of our emotional triggers, what charges up in our body, and what’s coming up for us in those emotional charges.
We can learn about ourselves and others through our triggers.
There really is a beautiful gift in these emotional charges, if we stop, take note, unpack it and look and ask it, what’s going on here? Why am I emotionally charged?
