Each of us has some so-called trigger points.
For each of us, there are a couple (... or more than a couple) of situations that usually bring out the worst version of ourselves within minutes or even seconds.
They could be related to your pain points, it doesn't matter if they are new, or almost as old as you are.
They could be related to the fact that someone (or something) is pushing your buttons like a pro, even without realizing it.
They could be related to that very frustrating situation you have been dealing with for a long time now, and sometimes enough is enough.
[One of those questions designed for giving you your power back...
Knowing your kryptonite can keep you safe]
Sure, nobody wants to go there, and you are no exception. Nobody wants to get owned by their own negative emotions...
Still, if you didn't reach nirvana yet and if spiritual or emotional enlightenment is not your daily state of mind yet... this could happen to you at some point. And knowing when, how, where and what for could be golden.
Five minutes of self-reflection spent on this topic are priceless, for knowing better what your "risky places to go" are can help you in the future. How?
While knowing your "usual suspects" you could notice faster when you should be "there" again. Over time, it could also help you go back to normal more effectively, and less painfully.
