18: How To Stop Reacting and Start Responding
Pause and Reflect: Techniques for Handling Emotional Triggers with Intention
How easily are you triggered?
I know for me, there have been moments where I've just felt completely overwhelmed, like I'm about to explode at the slightest thing. When I was deep in burnout, I remember when even my kids asking simple questions would send me over the edge.
I HAD to figure out what was happening and how to cope. So, in this episode of The Overwhelm Cure Podcast, I'm sharing what I've learned about identifying and managing those emotional triggers.
Key Takeaways
Why recognising your triggers can help you react more mindfully
Asking yourself at the end of the day how you reacted to the events of the day will give you important insights.
Getting faster at noticing physical signs of stress can actually help ease your stress and overwhelm
I hope this episode helps you take a step back, pause, and respond with intention instead of merely reacting. It's not always easy, but it's so worth it for the integrity and peace you'll feel.
