When triggered, the amygdala, the part of your brain primarily associated with emotional processes, can be activated. It releases stress hormones that prepare you to fight, freeze or flee. Fantastic if you\u2019re in physical danger, but not necessarily when in a meeting or negotiation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a way to return to or stay COOL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catch the trigger, 
Observe it, 
Open up and 
Learn from it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catch 
Notice what set you off. Was it something someone said or did? Pay attention to what’s happening now and\/ or reflect on it afterwards. 

Observe 
Get curious. Focus on taking slow breaths in an out and observing the internal thoughts and feelings. 

Open up
Consider sharing what\u2019s happening. You can say: ‘I’m noticing myself getting triggered. It\u2019s stopping me from thinking clearly.\u201d If this isn\u2019t appropriate, take a short break and make a written or audio note on your phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn 
If you know your most common triggers, it becomes easier to manage them. You can\u2019t stop them, but you can choose how you respond to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try this the next time you\u2019re feeling triggered and let me know how it goes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
