If you’ve ever struggled to change a behavior or break a habit, you know just how challenging it can be. Sometimes it can even feel like there is something more powerful than you are, breaking your discipline and pushing you towards the behavior or thing you promised yourself you wouldn’t do. Believe it or not, those things getting in the way of you reaching your goals are realistic. They’re called triggers, and they might be influencing you more than you think. So what exactly is a trigger? A trigger is a stimulus that causes someone to engage in a type of behavior. There are many kinds of triggers: internal, external, unconscious, or conscious, and many others. The thing they all have in common is that they cause people to do things. Read on to learn to make unconscious triggers conscious. Plus learn why your beliefs about change may be preventing it, how to get out of a never-ending behavior loop and how you can fix relationship trouble (and so many other things) by simply increasing your awareness!
