Sweet soul, have you ever felt an old wound resurface in a new moment? A familiar pang, a sudden flash of emotion—like a storm rolling in before you even know what’s happening?
I remember sitting there, feeling the lightning bolts surge through my being—old triggers igniting in this new relationship. My heart raced, my mind spiraled, and just as fear threatened to take hold, my mother’s words came through:
“Don’t focus on it.”
She wasn’t telling me to ignore the pain or suppress my emotions. No, she was reminding me not to feed the story. Not to pour my energy into the spiral of fear and doubt that so easily takes over.
Triggers Are Storms, But They Pass
Triggers are like storms—they flash, they rumble, they shake us. But they are not permanent. They come not to harm us, but to reveal where healing is still waiting to happen.
A trigger is a messenger. It shows us the wounds we still carry, inviting us to tend to them with love and care.
We don’t have to live in the storm. Just because the clouds gather doesn’t mean we have to get lost in the downpour.
The breath is our anchor. Instead of focusing on the bolt, I focus on my breath. On the love that is present now. On the truth that I am safe, even when it feels otherwise.
Choosing Peace in the Midst of Chaos
Life will always bring moments that stir something deep within us. But each time, we get to choose how we respond. We can get caught in the story, or we can return to the present—where healing happens, where love exists, where we remember our own strength.
The storms will come, but we don’t have to live in them. We can breathe, we can trust, and we can walk through them with grace.
