Trigger Happy or Sad…it’s up to You!
We are all very varied and there are thousands of triggers and situations but we all share the basic human craving for love and approval. It never dies in us no matter how old we get and when we don’t get it or it is threatened to be withdrawn, our systems go into overdrive to protect us from potential “death”. Sounds very dramatic, but our reptilian brain or “old brain” only knows to protect the body from threats and death and it is that part of the brain that overpowers us when we are triggered. Fight or flight is its only two reactive states.
So my lovely readers, take from this what makes sense to you and slowly, slowly in your daily interactions with your nearest and dearest and others for that matter, test this different way out. Recognize that it is you that can change this world from conflict to peace and help yourself heal and grow beyond your wildest dreams in the process. Love is all there is when we let go. Namaste.
