Over the next several weeks (and for the rest of your life,) make a mental note of your triggers in REAL TIME as they arise. Notice how the triggers affect:
- 🡆 your mind... What kinds of thoughts are arising in you?
- 🡆 your reaction toward the trigger... What is your immediate reaction when you are triggered?
- 🡆 your body... What kind of physical sensations do you notice? For example, light-headedness or dizziness, tension in your stomach, darting eyes, an inability to look a person in the eye, a change in your body posture, tension in your jaw.
- 🡆 your emotions... What emotions are arising in you? See if you can notice any emotions right off the bat. Otherwise, focus on the physical sensations and sink into them and then notice what emotions are arising in you. (Take your time with this part.)
Be sure to note your observations in your journal every evening. Anything deep triggers that you couldn't process in the moment should be revisited and healed that evening in your Daily Practice.
