Welcome back to The becoming the big knee podcast. I'm your host

Djemilah Birnie and you are tuning into minute madness, a

little dose of epicness delivered in five minutes or

less.

There you guys Djemilah Birnie here. And today I want to talk

to you about becoming triggered by things or words or opinions

of other people. So

the thing with being triggered when someone says something and

it starts to just boil up inside of you starts to make you feel

upset and makes you want to lash back or, or say something back.

I want you to take a moment and really dive into and think about

why is this triggering me? Why do I feel this way? Because

here's the thing, when people say things that touch us on a

personal level, because we have a fear that what they are saying

might actually be true. That's when we become triggered. That's

when those feelings come up. But if someone says something that

we know absolutely 100% not true about us total BS, that doesn't

trigger us, it doesn't elicit that same emotion. So if someone

were to tell me like, oh, you're stupid, I would be like, No, I'm

not.

Okay, let's move on, you know. But if someone were to tell me,

you're a bad mom, because you work too much. That would have

made me feel an entirely different way. Because that's

something that I already worry about. I mean, consciously, I do

know that I am a good mom. But I obviously I have these moments

where I feel like that where I feel like maybe I'm not, I'm not

doing enough, right. And so if someone were to say that, that's

going to upset me, that's going to trigger me because that's

something that I'm already scared that somebody might be

scared might actually be true. So if the next time that you

feel triggered, while I want you to do is I want you to take a

moment, and I want you to really lean into why why is this

triggering me? Why do I feel this way?

Is this something that is true? Is this something I'm scared

ish? True? How was this inside of me? Why am I feeling this

kind of emotions? Take a moment journal it out and, and really

dig into it? You can I highly suggest journaling just because

it's an easy way to get all of those jumbling thoughts out onto

one paper and you can really lean into that issue.

So let me know what you thought about this video and how it is

helping you are you use your triggers, you can use your

triggers to grow, you can use your triggers for self

discovery. Because when you become triggered, instead of

using that as a trigger to be angry, when you start to feel

that feeling use it as a trigger to dive into it and understand

why why do I feel this way? Alright, let me know your

thoughts on this in the comments below. And I'll talk to you guys

later.
