Episode 29: irritated with yourself?!? 4 steps to protect your energy & set yourself up for a great day!
Building on the previous 2 episodes (links below!) this is a discussion about managing our reactions when others trigger us or we trigger others, this week‘s episode of the Powered by Joy Podcast, we dive deep into the concept of "triggering yourself" or being irritated and frustrated by your own choices and patterns. We explore how seemingly minor events, like hearing a particular song, can unexpectedly stir up negative emotions and disrupt our day. Through some examples, we discuss how our behaviors, environment, and beliefs play significant roles in these emotional triggers and consider practical strategies to protect ourselves from unnecessary stress and emotional turmoil.
We touch on the importance of intentional actions and self-care in managing our emotional responses. I explain how the choices we make, from the way we start our day to the media we consume, can either support or undermine our emotional well-being. By being mindful of our environment, including the physical space and the people we interact with, we can create a more positive and supportive atmosphere that reduces the likelihood of triggering negative emotions.
Furthermore, we delve into the power of beliefs, highlighting how deeply ingrained thoughts can shape our reactions and experiences. I encourage you to examine your beliefs, especially those that may cause pain or discomfort, and to work on healing them. By choosing more loving and supportive beliefs, we can better navigate the ups and downs of life with resilience and grace.
Throughout the episode, I provide actionable tips, such as incorporating self-care routines and decluttering our surroundings, to help you create a more joyful and harmonized life. Also a reminder to approach this journey with curiosity and a sense of playfulness, recognizing that personal growth and healing are ongoing processes. So be kind to yourself!
Tune in to learn how to protect your mind, body, and soul from self-inflicted emotional triggers and discover ways to cultivate more joy and abundance in your life.
