Success...navigating triggery season

[Whirlwind]

I'm older and entirely on my own having (out of DV relationship) and simply put this time of year, even the "holiday" is associated with some events and I am in hyper trigger mode for a bunch of reasons. This is never a good time for me.

But I'm getting "it" this year, maybe the first year ever!

I recognized and caught the buildup this time and I am implementing my plan of action...and then I realized I am feeling ok. Calm....mixed with ok and some flashes of contentedness. I have some troublesome "blips" but I'm seeing them for what they are and I took a few long walks and talked to myself...it helped. Funny how speaking out loud is different.

This is a big one for me...getting through this time of year without falling into yuck land.

So far so good! :)

That is what I am practicing over and over. It is good knowing your success. It is in a big win for you to realize you are navigating well.
