We all get
triggered.
I can deal with the big stuff. It’s the little ones that needle.
Like cheese and onion crisps 🧀🧅 or bagpipes.
It’s weird that we/you/me let these small inconveniences affect our world.
Like noisy
eaters or dog poo 💩
And even though we know we should just ‘get over it’ it’s
tough when you’re in that moment.
Like motorists not indicating or people
not saying thank you.🙏
The secret must be to reframe. Think about it, you and I are as guilty as the next person for creating triggers for
others.
Like whistling or saying ‘off of’ instead of just off 🙄.
So, why can’t we just accept that we’re all a little bit different and avoid the triggering?
Like people
who don’t know the difference between their, they’re and there. 🤔
Or overuse of emojis 😉.
We're coming to that time of year, where tiny triggers become magnified and the sometimes seemingly trivial become
massive.
The trick is to practice not reacting to the tiny triggers now. Build a non-retort muscle so when the big ones pop up you don't react.
What are your tiny triggers? The smaller the better. Please leave them
here.
I can take it, but don't you dare give me cheese and onion crisps for Christmas 😆.
Be Brilliant!
