Happiness Triggers

Environmental

We can't escape the fact that many items we encounter in our daily life trigger our emotions either consciously or subconsciously. Imagine your morning cup of coffee or the flower scent near your favorite parking location not to say your dearest perfume.

All these items enter our energy field that surrounds our bodies and are sensed by our subconscious mind and it triggers hormones in our bloodstream that ignites the happiness, joyfulness, excitement or many other feelings stored in our library of memories in association with this environmental trigger....... Being a conscious trigger or not depends on whether we intended to get exposed to this stimulus or at least related what we felt to what caused it even if we were not intending moving in this direction or taking a sip of coffee now.

The unconscious trigger is when we get the feeling but we are not sure what caused it.

Conscious triggers on the positive side of the scale

When we intend to do certain things usually we are going after a feeling that we are longing for.  This varies between hope, acceptance, worthiness, confidence and a lot more positive feelings. Taking actions towards achieving this feeling is working in your favor at its best when bringing no negative feeling to anyone or anything. Imagine yourself parking your car or bike at the far end of the parking lot or coming down from your bus or train a stop earlier and spending a physical effort and few minutes from your time which is the most valuable thing of all what you own to enjoy a walk in the park beside a delightful scene. You adore yourself in the same way when you bring your best-loved cup of coffee not any cup of coffee. You invest this effort and those precious minutes to achieve this feeling that enlightens your day. It will pay off. These elevated vibes will attract similar vibes in every situation through your day.

The unconscious ones,

Even if you were guided there unconsciously, suppose that you mistakenly get off your bus in an earlier stop and instead of getting frustrated you were grateful to the coincidence that gave you a chance to enjoy your best cup of coffee or listen to those morning birds and their songs. This gratefulness also pays off by raising your vibrations as if you are are flying high so everything coming your way this day will be energetically equal.

What if these positive feelings don't last?

The level of this cheerful feeling, whatever you name it, that triggers us varies. When we are close to our souls, the subtle triggers are sensed and acknowledged. It remains your choice to build up upon those emotions and hold them in your heart and keep recalling them to your awareness through your day. Don't isolate those moments from the rest of the day or days. They are simply an up boost in the right direction.

Now when we are faced with some trigger that opposes this status it is just a question from the universe, are you willing to keep this track or you will give it up at the next turn? In other words, do you want the universe to remain baby-sitting you all days long? or you are grown up enough to care for the child inside you and continue to draw his attention to the joyful view of life either physically happening or intentionally visualized as a brighter tomorrow or thanked for yesterday. 

This is not an invitation to live outside here and now. We need only to have anchor points that we can rely on to offer us an uplift anytime we need it.We recall those moments here and now, to recall those high vibes here and now.

Be aware that there is no tomorrow or yesterday, they are just time stamps we use them to label events in our life. If we are not here and now to sense our life we would have missed the next delightful impulse the universe is offering in our way. That's one of the reasons why this positive feeling didn't last. It is because we are not paying attention to the now and its beauty if we dwell on the past or in the future.

Another reason for not lasting positive feelings is when we target only strong feelings that shake us and raise our heartbeats. We are not designed to be under stress or overexcited all the time. This spark of excitement initiates the action to start going to the gym, following a certain diet, buying a new gadget or any first step then we normalize to a stable sunny mode every time we are in the gym or using our new mobile. If we look only for the excitement of the initiation moments the enthusiasm for this action will fade away.

Negative Triggers

But, what is happening when we are triggered by a less than neutral emotion which people used to call a negative emotion? 

In fact, as we accepted that joyful impulse gets their interpretation from the file in our library of memories. Those memories are originally stored before now, the same holds itself true in case of sad, anger, disappointment, careless or  anxious reaction to the current situation.

I like to call upon a remark from Abraham Hicks that to know what you want you can find your way by knowing what you don't want. So, this negative trigger might be a life subtle lesson that you should look for something different that won't cause the unwanted feeling. Other probable cause derived also from Hicks talks, it can be a spotlight on your current level of vibration to uplift them. In other words, You need to look in your files for what triggers the preferred emotion and tend to do it or at least imagine it with multiple deep breaths to elevate your vibration and start receiving triggers from the positive side of life.

Summing up this chat,

Positive and negative triggers are always coming in our way. When we are aware of them, we benefit the most. Elevate those moments that raise you vibes and replace those taking you downwards with some anchor thoughts that you enjoyed on a different instance of time. 

At the end of the day, it is your life guiding you and those triggers are the communicated messages, so pay attention.
