As someone who has been interested in the power of the mind for many years, I am aware of the impact words have on our life experience.
Think of the word ‘trigger’. A word that describes how an old memory/emotions can instantly come to the surface. What if we simply changed the word from ‘trigger’ to ‘signal’?
For example, for many years after my mother died I would jokingly say, “I wasn’t done having a mother yet.” And then I’d struggle with the tears. I was triggering myself. My subconscious mind was simply following my lead.
Then, following a surgery, a dear friend helped me and fussed over me… like a mother.
Suddenly one day, I realized that I was done having a mother. And going forward I could mention my mother’s death calmly and remember all the things I loved about her, how much I appreciated her and how grateful I was to have had her in my life.
A signal alerts me to the fact that it’s time to rethink whether or not I want to allow an old experience to run my life.
