What Happened Doesn’t Matter. The Belief You created does.

There is an entire can of worms that this topic can relate to but let me simplify it a bit.

When we are triggered by some action or word from another person, it is often because of some lingering idea that formed in the back of your mind. It was probably put there unintentionally by someone you held dear or someone you respected.

Whatever it was, it twisted your opinion about yourself.

Later in life, when you hear an inkling of the same thought, it fires a spark and you feel yourself reacting yet again. It becomes what they call your “inner critic”.

It’s probably not true but it may need a little digging to understand when it happened and why. The truth behind the story is not always visible but with a little looking, you can figure it out.

From that point forward, the triggers will have much less impact. You just have to know where to look.

Stay tuned for more.
