EP 461: How to Know When You've Been Triggered
b'
When we dwell in the present moment, with a measure of acceptance, compassion, and curiosity, we reduce the static interference that\\u2019s created by our thoughts, attachments, and aversions.
\\nWithout this static interference, we gain what could be called a high definition view of our experiences.
\\nThis includes our inner experience, on an emotional level; and it includes our external experiences as well.
\\nIn this clear awareness, we gain the ultimate power that changes our life: regulation.
\\nBecause here\\u2019s the thing: once we reach the point of highly charged emotions, like a shaking rage, there is little we can do to regulate from that place.
\\nBut when we see our emotions in their infancy, which happens in this clear, high definition awareness, regulating ourselves and avoiding the consequences of reactivity becomes much easier!
