Have you ever found yourself triggered by something?
Of course you have. We all have.
It’s a part of human nature to let your emotions get the best of you.
Today on the show, I’m not only going to show you how to actually leverage emotional triggers for your benefit, but I’m going to teach you two other types of triggers that you may not have realized were running the show.
These triggers might remind you of the cue presented to us in Charles Duhigg’s book “The Power Of Habit”. It’s a similar concept except what I’ve realized is the more we organize these cues, the better we become at taking advantage of them or avoiding them. The three types of triggers are…
- Emotional Triggers
- Time Based Triggers
- Location Based Triggers

These are just some examples of how we can be triggered into falling into bad and unhealthy patterns.
In today’s episode I’m also going to give you some examples of how to actually use triggers for your benefit!
