How to Understand and Master Emotional Triggers

Managing your emotional triggers is at the core of mental health. A trigger is a stimulus that sparks intense negative emotions like fear, anger, and anxiety.

Some people lash out, others withdraw, and some self-medicate. Acting impulsively on an emotional trigger mostly leads to regret. You grow less proud of yourself and further away from an ever-better you.

If you are like most people, you’ve never had a conscious process for controlling your triggers, so you succeed sometimes and fail many others. You can learn, assess, improve, and teach a conscious process.

The Saber Six Foundation has teamed with Dr. Mark Goulston to give you a process to manage your triggers. We created the 22-day Trigger Mastery Challenge to provide inspiration.

Here’s how it works: Order your bracelet, and then you will receive a training manual and four instructional videos on mastering your triggers. If you’re participating, use the hashtag #triggermastery and share your progress on social media.

When you control your triggers, you control your behavior. When you control your behavior, you become an ever-better you.

The Saber Six Foundation’s Trigger Mastery Challenge is to control your triggers for 22 days.

Here’s the Challenge:

  1. Order your bracelet and put it on your wrist.
  2. Whenever you act out on a trigger, put the bracelet on your other wrist and return to Day 1.
  3. You master the challenge after 22 consecutive days of controlling your triggers.

Controlling your Triggers is a 3-step process

1

Triggered

Say to yourself that you are triggering and identify the feeling.

2

Downshift

Create space between your trigger and your action.

3

Reframe

Reframe the situation so your actions are constructive instead of destructive.
