I don't know Seth, Elias or Abraham, but I think each and every one of you are on the right track! Through a friend, I ended up on this website The words in your diaries made me laugh out loud and I felt as if I could relate to everything being said!! (apparently I ended up here because I was supposed too; coincidience?) I am on my own journey in Self Awareness and found it comforting that there are "like" minds out there sharing their thoughts. Stay positive and be well!!! :) Whom ever responded with “I wouldn’t worry about whether or not you get too many comments on your blog.”,, couldn’t have said it better, in my opinion.

This is the stage I am at now too...slowing down just enough to see how the triggers get triggered, and then moving in a different direction - trying to laso all the uncomfortable beliefs and carry myself in a preferred direction. I was in Copenhagen, effortlessly living my preferences and so happy for it. Towards the end of my time there, I WAS excited about returning to the land of my triggers, becuase I wanted to apply these concepts consciously and effectively in a more challlenging setting. If I can master application in Trigger Land, I would truly be a master (IMO). Yes, I was excited at the thought of directing myself through this rough terrain. But, it seemed that everytime I returned, THAT DAY was filled with some dreaded trigger, I'd lose my balance and fall flat on my face - floundering around for days at a time. spontaneously picking myself up - but not knowing quite how I did that either! It's been about 2.5 months since I've been back in London, and I'm definately more aware of my triggers - of which there are SO many - that I need all the help with balance I can get. So, I've chanced upon a 'solution' to decrease the trigger effect. Focus on preferences - that's my method at the moment. I ask myself, 'What makes me feel good' then I do that. I can literally feel the difference as I focus on my preferences and enact my preference, and just when I think I can take my attention elsewhere, BAM! I'm back in Trigger Land. Part of the process is about being patient with self, and comforting - and plain old repetition is also not to be poo-poo'd. It's like learning a language. You're not gonna know the vocab from the first moment you see it...it takes time to sink in and absorb all the nuances of a language. But, it is important to acknowledge yourself for having learned one word, instead of focussing on the other 10,999 words you don't know. I do deeply wish I could perceive these concepts as easy as learning a language! But, thinking about it - if I spent most of my time discounting myself for what I don't apply, then THAT's where my focus will be, instead of getting on with the job of learning and application. i'll have to remember that the next time I wander into Trigger Land, which will be just about the time I press the 'submit comment' button. Anne I concur!
