Becoming Untriggerable: A Journey to Emotional Freedom

A trigger is defined as an external or internal event that evokes a strong emotional response, often negative, such as anger, sadness, or anxiety. Tonya Leigh shares her personal experience of being triggered during her father's celebration of life, where she felt intense anger due to a perceived boundary violation. This moment of rage was not just an isolated incident; it reflected deeper feelings and unresolved issues within her.

Tanya encourages listeners to view triggers as invitations to look within themselves. Instead of reacting impulsively, we can take a moment to pause and reflect on why we are feeling a certain way. This self-exploration can lead to profound insights about our past experiences, beliefs, and values.

Tune in for insights on managing emotions and fostering a peaceful mindset.

The Thought Closet: Discovering the Power of Intentional Thinking

Just like a wardrobe, we have a "thought wardrobe" filled with thoughts we wear daily. It's essential to evaluate whether these thoughts serve us well or need to be replaced. We choose outfits that reflect our style and personality, we also curate thoughts that impact how we perceive ourselves. These thoughts can be seen as the mental attire we don each day; some may fit us perfectly, while others may feel outdated or ill-fitting.

Host Tonya Leigh encourages listeners to evaluate these thoughts and ask themselves if they truly resonate with the life they desire and their personal values. By consciously selecting our thoughts, much like we choose our outfits, we can cultivate a self-image that aligns with our true selves.
