DO YOU KNOW WHAT SET-OFF YOUR TRIGGERS ?😤

Why give a Chance to others to push your Emotional Responses ?

As we live in a society, where we meet with various persons some may be good and some may manage to Push Your Buttons😡. 

How do they do this ?

These people may be sometimes from your family👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 or it could be your friends👬 also. But many times, it could even be people who matter little to you and yet you react with an Emotional explosion🤯. 

These may be the persons or people's who may try to put those buttons there in the first place, or because they remind you of past incidents that had aroused some negative feelings. But some may try to Set-off your Triggers deliberately in an attempt to needle you, others unknowingly. 

An example of deliberately Pushing your Buttons is when two people's know each other closely seek to hurt by using their information of each other's trigger's points. Such incidents you may have seen in intimate relationships such as between Siblings or Couples👩‍❤️‍👨.

It doesn't matter how the conversation / interaction🗣️ has been going on till that point, the moment the Trigger is been pushed, it is bound to turn into an rocket. This technique is also used sometimes to break cold stand-offs between lovers -- passionate angry words being preferable to icy silence. 

The people who knows us better have the most power to hurt us as they all know what will Push My Buttons. But most of the times it will be the person which is close to us. For instance : Family Members, Relatives , Friends, etc. 

But it is not always people who Set-off Our Triggers. As many of our Emotional Reactions are triggered by various incidents, sometimes, small ones. Being uncomfortable, a messy room🛋️, a bratty child👦, being ignored, crass language, being corrected or falsely accused of something, lies, threats or intrusion of personal space -- any of these are some reasons that can Fire your Gun.

What are Emotional Buttons ?

An Emotional Buttons is anything that takes you into the past & ensure that your reaction grows more to some hurt in the past rather than to the present situation. It impacts your present perception by shaking your confidence😇 and calm demeanour and introducing an uncomfortable past experience.

How to Control Your Emotional Buttons ? 

Let's see...

However, the truth is that though your Push Buttons may be with others, the main Circuit Breaker is in your hands only and it is in your controls🎮. You have to choose whether to get affected emotionally or not. Most often, we don't come to realize it. 

So, Now, how to control it, no matter how others try hard to Set-off Your Triggers --- whether Seriously or in a Jest. So, in order to keep the situation in our control, it is very important to understand When and Why you are been Triggered. If it is in a Jest, you may well like to go with the flow and joke back. 

In other scenario, when someone is yanking your chain deliberately to set you off, the best reaction is not to them know they have been able to rattle you at all. Hence, maintain a calm exterior and Respond with care rather than React. And if anyone, is trying to Push your Button unknowingly, let them know calmly that this is a topic you would not talk about🚫.

As these are External Factors. But how you will control your Internal Emotional Response😌 to the Trigger ?

The solution for this is only by identifying and understanding the Triggers that Sets you Off. And when you find that what pushes an Irrational Emotional Response from you, reflect on it deeply why the situation bothers you. 

Does it is same as earlier situation ?

So, try to work on it in your way through that and Try and Let it Go. So, keep working on it & managing yourself. And train yourself and plan for how you will respond next time to a similar situation.

Hence, be aware of the Triggering Behaviour and train yourself to Respond, rather than React. Always remember on thing, by showing that you are bothered, you are handling over the Push buttons to others. So, Train yourself for it.
