The Mindset Mentor
2 Skills for Healthy Relationships

No, no, no, no, no. She didn't trigger you. It was what you were thinking about what she did that triggered you. It's the internal conversation that you are having with yourself about what they did. Do you get that? Like, do you really, really get it? It's never what somebody else did to you that triggers you. It's what you are thinking about what they did that triggers you.

I care less about what you do in this world. And I care more about the conversation that's happening inside of your mind. Because it's like, oh, well, your mom called you up and she said this. Well, that's what happened in reality. But what happened in your brain? What meaning did you give what she said? Oh my gosh, I can't believe she's doing this again. Why is she always doing this to me?

She's always trying to make me scared of what's happening in the world. She's so based in fear and I'm just so tired of it. Well, that's the conversation happening in your head. That's the thing that's making you triggered. You know, one of my favorite quotes, and I've shared this hundreds of times in this podcast, is Eleanor Roosevelt.

And it's the quote, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Nobody, which means you might say, oh, well, they said this to me and they made me feel bad. No, no, no, that's not what made you feel bad. It was they said something to you and then there was an internal conversation that happened in your head and that's what made you feel bad. And to be triggered is really important.

Like I always say, being triggered is a gift. The gift is that this person is showing you where you're not free, where you are hung up in some sort of way in your own head. Because it's not about what someone does to you, it's about how you react to that thing. And it's like, one of my other favorite quotes that has to do with this is Viktor Frankl.

And Viktor Frankl was a psychologist who lived in Auschwitz and other Nazi prison camps. And he says, it's a rough quote, so I'm not going to say it perfectly, but it's something like, between stimulus and response, there is a space. And if you can master that space, you can master your life.

So between stimulus, which is something happening, and response, which is our response to it, there's a space. And in that space, we're having a conversation in our head. It's usually a subconscious conversation and it happens so fast. But if you can master that space, you'll master your life. Because someone can come say something to you, and it could completely trigger you.

And they could go say the exact same thing to one of your friends, and one of your friends would laugh it off. So clearly it's not what's being said, it's your own interpretation of it, of what's being said. So if you can master your reactions, you can master being, not be triggered, I understand this is hard, or be triggered less, You start to master your emotions and master yourself.
