Triggers

Our past experiences influence our current actions, decisions, and emotions.  Letting go of the past opens the door up for new and amazing things to come into our life, that includes our ideas of how people will treat us.   How do we know we are reacting  to past hurts and not the current situation?  Are their certain triggers that you know will upset you, making you feel fearful or angry?  Those triggers are based on old hurts, which more than likely are no longer relevant in your life.  Many times these triggers have become so much of a habit we don’t even realize why we are reacting in that way.   I have started getting into the habit of analyzing any emotions that feel bad/upsetting such as anger, fear, and sadness.  Am I reacting to the current situation or am I reacting out of habit?  Once you start noticing these triggers or habits, then you can start changing the way you react to others, ensuring compassion and love is your primary emotions instead of anger, fear, and hurt.   Your ego mind is so very complicated and unraveling those emotions can be complicated and difficult, but in doing so life can be forever changed in such a positive and amazing way.   Love and blessings!
