Can we shift our attitude in the blink of an eye?
How easy is it for us to be totally excited and having a good time, when BOOM something happens to trigger us and we go sour. We know how fast our mood changes when something happens that rubs up against us the wrong way. So why can’t we change our mood back just as fast?
It seems that once we get triggered it takes us a while to return back to a peaceful place, when we were totally excited. Let’s take a look at some of the things we might be able to do to shift our attitude back to being blissful, a lot more quickly.
The first thing I do is pause and realize that I’ve been triggered and it’s not about the situation or person, it is coming from me. I make sure that I do not react in any way, which means I don’t say or take any action whatsoever. Even if I feel like a going to explode I do nothing. Because I know if I react in any way it’s not going to be pretty.
The next thing I do is give thanks for this opportunity to go deeper into knowing and healing myself. So instead of blaming the other person for whatever action they took, I immediately know is for my higher learning. This helps me put things into perspective and keeps me out of the blame game.
Then if I have a moment to go to a quieter place and explore what’s going on, I do. If I don’t have that luxury I make sure I tend to it when I get home. Which means I look at what old belief I am buying into that triggered me and then I do the work around it to do my healing. In my personal retreats you will learn how to shift from being triggered to being love. After learning and practicing this method you will notice that it becomes a more organic process and it is much more easy to shift from a triggered state to a loving state.
Okay maybe it’s not in a blink of an eye but it is certainly better than suffering in a triggered state for days. It does take practice and awareness. If you want to stop reacting and learn how to shift from fear to love, check out my personal retreats.
