Preferences Rather than Triggered Responses

No one causes us to feel anything. Other’s behavior may be the catalyst that activates or triggers what’s already within to surface, but make no mistake about it, no one on the outside is to be blamed. In fact, becoming triggered is an opportunity. It’s illuminating what we need to heal for greater self-acceptance. Feeling it is the path to healing it. That doesn’t mean that we just accept whatever behavior comes our way. When we own our feelings as our responsibility to heal, we can also discern what we like and don’t like and communicate from a place where we’re much more likely to be heard…

Balance.
