When we become triggered and our stress rises, it\\u2019s natural to think of the specific stressor that caused this to happen.
\\nMaybe it\\u2019s a traffic jam when you\\u2019re on the way to an important meeting.
\\nBut the thing is that the traffic jam alone, and the resulting stress you feel in your body, did not happen in a vacuum.
\\nIn reality, several other, seemingly minor experiences have primed your body and mind for that stress response.
\\nIt\\u2019s the email from a colleague; it\\u2019s the argument with our kid or spouse; it\\u2019s the coffee that got cold before we could drink it.
\\nAll of these experiences kinda inch us closer to the stress response that hijacks our day.
\\nBut we can go back even further.
\\nEvery moment of your life - especially the absolutely mundane and banal moments that we don\\u2019t recognize - offers an opportunity to be present.
\\nAnd when we practice this presence, we maintain our balance and grounding and the domino effect of minor stressors leading to major stressors doesn\\u2019t have a chance to happen.
