Recognizing Your Triggers


Since the ultimate responsibility for an angry reaction both begins and ends inside of an individual, the responsibility for anger and response to that anger rests with that person. This concept is critical for "Recognizing Your Triggers" and then taking responsibility for understanding and dismantling them. If your anger is always about somebody or something outside of your control, change will not happen. Shifting the 'cause' of anger is used by those people who are not sure how to or perhaps don't want to change. When a person is ready to change what is really in their control, understanding what anger is REALLY about is a logical first step.

If you actively go about to dismantle your triggers, you take back the responsibility that was yours in the first place. Freedom is not in coercing people to avoid your triggers but rather freedom is having a choice to respond to people in new and productive ways!
