In our interpersonal experiences, we are often triggered by the way we perceive other people treating us.
\\n
\\nOur fear-based stress response puts us in a state in which we are not available for our life.
\\n
\\nWe\\u2019re not available for our loved ones (especially our kids!)
\\n
\\nWe\\u2019re not available for our own happiness or we\\u2019ll being either.
\\n
\\nThe physiological reason for the stress response is the way we perceive the other person\\u2019s motivation.
\\n
\\nIf we\\u2019re driving down the road and someone cuts us off, we might spend a huge amount of time immersed in negative emotions like anger and resentment, arising from fear.
\\n
\\nBut what if we realize that this person is rushing to the hospital because someone they love had been hurt?
\\n
\\nNow we have a much different emotional response, right?
\\n
\\nWell, the truth is that in almost every instance, people are doing things because they believe those things will reduce their suffering or increase their happiness.
\\n
\\nAnd when we can perceive every interpersonal experience with this assumption, we will stay clear of the emotional trigger and stress that take away our happiness.
\\n
\\nYou can develop this assumption as a habit through the simple practice of compassion.
