Emotional triggers… are where there is “animation” behind your emotional reactions. Follow the clues to set yourself free.

Ever notice you get especially irritated or even angry when talking about something specific? I.e. an ex who hurt you, when someone is late, when you feel a certain feeling (i.e. forgotten, lonely, disrespected, instructed). Take note of what it was that you were talking about when you got animated… you’ll need it soon. 

I see the world through the prism of “energy”. When you see a sudden vibration change (i.e. emotional overreaction) on a certain topic it usually is tied to a painful memory or experience that remains unhealed from your past or a strongly enforced boundary that masks a hidden vulnerability.

May not sound like rocket science but once you know this, and really understand it, it becomes an emotional “blockage” detector for where to work on to heal yourself… bit by bit. Half the battle in self-improvement is knowing where to start… start with releasing something that makes you angry or a grudge you insist on holding onto. It’s like pulling out weeds from a flowerbed and one by one you transform into a fully bloomed garden.

Tip: your goal should be to ultimately accept the situation, do some soul searching and when you are ready to come to a place of being ready to set yourself free… you will forgive them/yourself. You will forgive yourself for holding onto the pain/guilt/regret/etc as long as you did. You will set them free of you and you will be free of them. That’s the point of this forgiveness… to set YOU free. I promise it’s worth your deeper consideration. 

Benefits you can expect later: the same once painful memory will fade in your memory and there will be no more emotion attached to it. Thus it is powerless and just a historical fact. Release the emotion from the wound and it re-heals cleanly and peacefully. Suddenly you may no longer yell at people on the highway… bit by bit you will replace anger with peace. And you will be free.
