MASTER YOUR EMOTIONS: A GUIDE TO REGULATING YOUR EMOTIONAL BODY AND TRIGGERS
Our emotional body can really run the show and cause a lot of flight, fight or freeze situations that affect our daily performance and ability to function
Our emotional body can hold memories and patterns from our entire life experience and can get triggered at any moment by the people around us or the situations we find ourselves in
Our emotional body can be amplified and triggered easily if we have had a rough past or any form of trauma or ptsd
Being able to “regulate” our emotional body gives us an easier path to move forwards and navigate through challenging territory and to give us a sense of soul freedom instead of being trapped in reaction, projection & escapism
Situations that can trigger intense emotional reactions can be
Rejection
Betrayal
Unjust treatment
Challenged beliefs
Being excluded or ignored
Disapproval or criticism
Feeling unwanted and not needed
Feeling smothered or too needed
Insecurity
Loss of independence
Triggers feel like:
Pounding heart
Upset stomach
Shakiness
Anger
Fear
You can see how the relationships around us would bring up these situations and intense reactions inside of us . These things COULD be happening to us or it also could be that we are feeling these things from our own wounding and shadow work that needs to be done
Your emotional freedom and happiness depends on your ability to be able to stand in your truth and be honest with yourself whether this situation is happening to you or whether you are being triggered from past situations and how you are showing up emotionally to this situation .
We are only human and triggers are going to happen. We aren’t going to respond ion the best manner all the time to them, possibly sending us into projection and blaming others around us.
However the more we show up in honesty and take time to go in and find out the source, the more we are going to find soul freedom and happiness from that truth and realisation. Asking ourselves is there somewhere I need to honour myself by putting up a boundary or is there possibly more healing and growth that is needed from me
Now more than ever I feel we are being given high level emotional situations to trigger us into a greater healing & awareness as society on a whole . The emotional lessons are big!
Do you feel like this has been happening to you?
If you are feeling triggered,
take a pause
take a reflect
Deep breathe or do breathing exercises to calm down the f,f,f response
if you are having an emotional response feel into it and try understand the source of where it comes from, is it from now or your past? What emotions are you feeling….break it down to come to a state of emotional understanding and balance .
Give yourself some space to integrate your understanding
work your emotions through your body through somatics or movement . Emotions get trapped and stored in the body causing blockages
journal or talk to someone to get the emotions out of your mind and body
If you had the problem or issues with someone else, wait till you are calm and speak from the heart explaining how you feel
