A complete circuit

@Amber VanAuken YES FREE THE PUPS 🤣🤣🤣

I think for the most part I've gained the ability to notice when I'm being fed an "old" loop and whether it has meaning to it... I still try to discern whether there's something yet to let go of, with more success over time. I'm sure it's comparable to checking the kitchen pantry for quick, easy snack grabs rather than LOOKING for something to cook 😅 but I'm getting there. But for me the loops that seem to stick the longest CONSECUTIVELY, at least on a day-to-day basis... are the triggers that occur in my immediate environment—I.E. "other people," and especially at work. I have some particularly deep triggers when it comes to people with authority using tactics and tones that I disagree with. Of course we banter on a jobsite—that's pure comradery! But for some reason it puts me straight into my Anger center when I can Tell and Feel that a person is speaking the way to do out of an EMOTIONAL NEED to talk down to others. 'Nuff said. Why I'm writing this is that I want to Remember an exceedingly fun tactic that I learned from a very lovely Podcast called "Know Thyself" (the "Daniel and Eduardo" one with the Sun on it [André Duqum's podcast is great too but Daniel and Eduardo are my best friends that I never met]) Anyway, Danny gave the funniest tidbit of wisdom at how to respond to a person when they're acting out to completely disarm yourself and enter pure, light-hearted objectivity: Look at them with a wry, amused, and questionable look and be like... "God? Is that YOU?" 😂😂 "What an incredibly funny face for you to wear, and SO weird to find you HERE of all places!!" Not verbatim lol but thats the gist. Look at them the same way you'd look at your Grandma if she just farted LOUDLY in front of you in a restaurant 🤣 Sorry lol had to share that so I'd remember this trick. It's just a band-aid, I know there's deeper stuff to uncover—but it often puts a massively humorous light in an otherwise uncomfortable situation.

WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT!!!
