So now we are in sync with respect to our dark voice and our light...
Do you know what triggers them?
Both voices converse in our mind, but we have things, behaviors that TRIGGER the voices to dominate our mind...
Some triggers are so strong that they almost cause us to knee jerk with dark behavior...
Some triggers almost skip the dark voice and cause us to just react...
I’ve seen it be forms of disrespect...
People using phrases that suggest
one is not intelligent enough...
one is physically not who they are supposed to be... too fat, skinny, weak...
one is ignored...
one is compared to someone... maybe a parent or a sibling...
One is treated unfairly...
someone is treated unjustly...
someone is bullied...
Someone touches us...
or doesn’t ...
It’s important to become aware of our triggers...
both to our dark and to our LIGHT...
When I work out, it helps my light...
When I am outdoors and near water, it helps my light...
Words of affirmation...
A caring touch...
Being Productive...
silence...
sunrises and sunsets...
gratitude...
so many things trigger my LIGHT...
what triggers yours?
When you know... you can be more deliberate and create those that trigger light... and attempt to avoid those that trigger dark...
But the thing about it is... often those triggers are “pulled” by others.
As we become more emotionally intelligent, more enlightened, more aware...
And sometimes you don’t realize something is a trigger until after you are already in a dark behavior... So, if you find yourself in darkness... don’t be afraid to pause...
What happened?
What outside voice, or what inside voice or event or behavior triggered me here?
Maybe you figure it out... maybe you don’t... but you keep trying...
Eventually, we realize that there is no trigger that ANYONE can pull to create our reaction...
WE OWN OUR REACTION
WE HAVE THE POWER TO CONTROL THOSE...
WE OWN HOW WHAT SOMEONE SAYS MAKES US FEEL...
Ant that is the KEY... words, phrases, voices ultimately make us FEEL SOMETHING... and those feelings are what ultimately trigger our reaction our RESPONSE...
DARKNESS TRIGGERS
FEELINGS
FEELINGS TRIGGER
BEHAVIORS...
BUT WE CAN SO CONTROL WHAT WE FEEL... How we choose to see the world and the moments in it...
Very, very occasionally do I get triggered these days by anyone else...
It’s a wonderful feeling to notice... to know and to own your own reactions to the world around you...
There is still a lot of darkness in my conversations... but less and less...
Become alert to your triggers...
keep evolving...
keep growing...
keep shining...
in harmony,
Nestor
