Now that I "know" better, I can sometimes fall into the trap of judging myself when I don't always DO better. So I'm having to remind myself to be patient, kind, and gentle with myself, as much as I would be with others, and let feelings come up and out. I see now how NOT letting the feelings come up, and pushing them down or ignoring them doesn't make them go away. So they'll resurface again later, sometimes even worse. <br /><br />I feel you on these "triggering" people in your life. Sometimes it seems we have so many of those people. But it's AWESOME how aware you are and that you KNOW they're here for you. Still, it doesn't necessarily take away from the frustration and difficulties. I've certainly been there too. Have you read "The Untethered Soul?" If you told me and I forgot, I apologize. It seriously has changed my life and how I view those "triggering" people. When I started reading it I was still not with my boyfriend (we were in the broken up point), and I still wanted nothing to do with his ex-wife (my #1 trigger). But after reading a few chapters of the book (I'm still reading it), it opened my eyes on many things. I'm now BACK with my boyfriend, and honestly love him more than before, and I recognize it's REAL love now, not ego love like it was a lot of before. And his ex-wife doesn't get to me like she did before. It's seriously like a miracle, and I don't say that lightly. <br />Anyway, I'd be curious what you thought if you read it. <br />Just a suggestion. :)<br /><br />SarahAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03043862027969047380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068690574771703228.post-57694288356704691152013-06-01T16:08:30.391-07:002013-06-01T16:08:30.391-07:00Great post Sarah.

As you know I have to do this a lot right now with my father!!! I am being triggered a lot lately by so many people - my father, my husband, and this person I work for - ugh, so much to wade through but I know it's all for Divine purpose and my highest good. Thanks for your encouraging comment to my blog response btw. It was nice to read and reassuring to me that I am handling all of this in a wise and graceful way!!
