Triggered
Some of us have been operating in Ego so long, that the time has not been made to unravel our triggers.Yeah, I got straight to the point. The thing is, some of us think that we have it all figured out or that certain situations cannot leave a significant emotional impact on us. We have become so accustomed to compartmentalizing our emotions, that we are literally shocked when we are TRIGGERED. Have you ever been in a situation where you reacted unfavorably, and you wondered where that ish came from? I know I have! I legitimately have been all in my feelings and have NO IDEA WHY.
Triggers reveal parts of us that need to heal. It is the concealed part of us that has been neglected, however it presents itself at the most unlikely of times. For me, I have had to really sit back and understand why certain things that people did or said to me affected me more than I anticipated. Well, there are a few reasons for the unveiling of these feelings. #1- Whatever was said or done reminded me of another time that brought me pain or trauma #2- My intuition probably prepared me for whatever I got myself into, and I just ignored myself. So then I ended up not trusting my own judgement OR the intentions of others. Self reflection…...
When you are taking time to explore yourself, you can get to the point that you have to peel back multiple layers of trust issues. The discovery of those triggers can be one that is not for the weak. You realize that you have been operating in fight or flight mode for the past forever and you have lost the core of who you are. Who were you before the trauma or the heartbreak? What is the essence of your soul before you were emotionally neglected? Reflecting creates perspective. As you begin to reflect on the past situations and circumstances in your life, I recommend you to be easy on yourself. Remember that on the journey to you, there are many transformative moments. The biggest transformation is forgiveness. Forgive yourself my love. You are no longer the person that you cannot trust. So combat those triggers and be open to receive the peace that comes with it! You now know that you are of God. Infinite and worthy.
