About this episode
Tangible Takeaways:
- Remember my wise friend’s words: “Being triggered is an opportunity to grow and learn about yourself”
- Spend some time to know what triggers you, and go deeper into why. This is an essential first step to handling these situations.
- Avoid responding right away, create space between your trigger and your reaction.
- Ask yourself if you're being direct: often we communicate passively when we’re trying to be polite, yet this creates more confusion and communication issues in the end.
- Be mindful of your words, and avoid using the word, “should” - make a request versus telling someone what to do.
