Are you triggered or processing?

What is the difference between a trigger and a process?

One often precedes the other.

A word, issue or event can create a TRIGGER.  This trigger will then most often put you into PROCESS.

A great reminder of a trigger are the words by Bryant McGill “The more something upsets you, the more it is meant for you.  When it no longer upsets you, it is no longer needed, because the lesson is complete”.  The process is getting to the point where you have learnt, and are no longer triggered.

If it is easier, think of a trigger as a button with the very thing you need to learn written on it.  Take a moment, breathe, close your eyes……….in your minds eye, imagine a button, what would the word look like, sound like, feel like, be like.   If you knew what would the word be written on your button?  What would your current lesson be?

If you understand what the lesson is, how can you quickly process it, to learn the lesson?

Know yourself.  Know your strengths, challenges, opportunities and risks in all things in your life.  If you wish to process quickly, use your strengths, understand your challenges, and get new skills to strengthen.  Use your strengths and opportunities to mange your risks.  Identify your potentials.

Learn a new skill.  Here is a free one for you, write an affirmation to support and motivate yourself.  Motivation to achieve your best.  Motivation is an inside job.
