Understand your triggers (self-discovery). We all have memories or thoughts that trigger our emotions and it can cause our behavior to shift. Learning to identify what your triggers are and determine the ways you can cope with them will help you stay in control. When you know and understand yourself fully you can better navigate a situation. For example, I experienced abandonment and rejection during a critical time in my life. As a result, I built this trigger around being told “no.” Anytime someone would say “no” to me, I would flare up in anger. I had to realize that the traumas of my past were causing triggers in my current reality. Thus, I had to identify them, accept them, then get rid of them.
