In my past relationship, some choice statements would suppress my inner voice. Even today, some of the same ideas lend to similar behaviors. Almost as if I seek shelter within. Over the last two years, I’ve started to express myself and tell the person how it makes me feel. It’s about being aware and understanding how something makes you feel. Wrong or right, it is how you feel. Can you identify emotional trigger statements?
Some of my trigger statements are…
- Are you happy now?
- You always seem to come out on top
- There is only one “right” answer/interpretation
- You can’t wear that change
- You need to do XYZ
- You owe me
- You’ve done it again
- What are you/would you say
- What do you need to do that for
I’m taking back my power by practicing these simple steps.
- Awareness
- Share how I feel
- Consciously be present and not read into the words
- Meditation
- Self-healing
- Gratitudes
