So here's something weird I'm realizing about myself. Do you know what a big trigger emotion for me is? Relief.
I filed my taxes today and I was fairly sure I'd be getting money back, but you can never be positive until it's done, right? Well, I am getting a good refund - a bit better than I'd guessed, in fact, and when I was done, I really wanted to drink. Looking back, this is a common thing for me. It's not really so much stress or sadness that does it, but relief. It's like my AV thinks it can sneak in when my guard is down.
I didn't drink. I don't even have anything in the house. But it's interesting to look back and see that pattern. Do you guys notice any surprising patterns to what triggers your AV to start whispering (or yelling)?
Instead I had sparkling water and really delicious tacos in lettuce wraps. Very healthy! Woohoo!
