After a Trigger

Feeling activated doesn’t automatically mean something went wrong.

Before taking action or drawing conclusions, it can help to:

    1.  Orient to where you are physically
    2.  Notice the time of day
    3.  Let your system settle a bit

Waiting is allowed.

You don’t have to decide what this means yet.

Noticing it is enough for now. If it helps, you can jot down a word or sentence and let it sit.
