Cindy Esliger guides us through what it is that triggers our frustration. She reveals the surprising fact that what someone says or does may not be the thing that actually sets us off and gives advice on how to dig deep to identify our true triggers. Cindy identifies how things that trigger us are often rooted in a desire for control that’s been denied us, deeper wounds beneath that, and feelings of inadequacy or lack of worth. We tend to think it’s a combination of the person and situation presented to us that sparks our frustration, but Cindy advises us to “take that moment to get curious” and ask questions about our reaction.In this episode Cindy explains seven common stressors that trigger frustration: 1) uncertainty, 2) lacking appreciation, 3) lacking creativity, 4) unpredictable environments, 5) experiencing overwhelm, 6) relying on others, and 7) resolving conflict. She unpacks each of these and offers some concrete ways to address them by rewiring our thinking about frustrating situations. And one thing she says is to “witness your thoughts with compassion”. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide for What Are Your TriggersAstronomic Audio—Contact Cindy Esliger - Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
