What I’ve Been Noticing Lately

Lately, I’ve been noticing how quickly I can become annoyed or irritated in situations that, on another day, might not have bothered me at all.

Someone giving advice when I didn't ask for it.

My routines being disrupted.
A logistical question coming in when I already feel stretched thin.

Sometimes my reaction does not seem proportionate to what is  happening in the moment.

It can be tempting to think I shouldn’t feel this way because I have done so much work around this. Why is this bothering me again?

But as I have been sitting with it, I am recognizing that when something important is already draining my energy, my capacity for everything else quietly diminishes and before I know it, I get deregulated. 

Recently, my life has peaked in both good and bad intensity in multiple areas. I know I am not alone in this. Many of us are sensitive and navigating a lot right now, personally and collectively.

What is happening around us is undoubtedly impacting our nervous systems.

Our reactions are not coming out of nowhere.
They are a subconscious nervous system response to real stress, real uncertainty, and legitimate concern.

When my capacity is spread thin even small things can feel like too much.

My "triggers" are messages from my nervous system that something inside of me needs care, space, or attention.

So before I jump to fixing the situation, defending myself, or just pushing through, I do something much simpler.

I pause to check whether my reaction is bigger than the situation warrants.
And instead of asking how to make it go away or telling myself I should be handling it better, I get curious about why this moment landed the way it did.
What was it about that comment or interruption that did not feel okay with me?

Why did this hit harder than it might have on another day?

What about it made you emotional?
Sometimes nothing needs to be done right away.

Understanding why something affected you the way it did can help you decide what needs care, what needs protection, and what might need to change.

Quick Tip: Explore What Is Under the Trigger

When something or someone triggers you, it is natural to focus on what they did. Our minds can fill in every void with constant chatter about what should and shouldn't have been done.
They should know better.

And sometimes that is true.

But no matter what someone else does, we are always the one who is responsible for how we react.

So instead of staying at the surface level of irritation, try asking

What am I actually feeling right now

Is it:
Embarrassment
Rejection
Pressure
Feeling misunderstood
A loss of control
Not being seen or valued
Fear of hurting someone's feelings

Our emotions are messengers.
There is more underneath it.

Once you address what is in there, you'll be more able to respond.

Often I need to tend to my own feelings before anyone else's.

Sometimes I need to set boundaries.

And sometimes it is time to let go of something that keeps pulling me back.

It is always the right time to respond in ways that honor who I am now and move me towards where I want to be.

Your trigger may be asking you to change how you're dealing with the situation that triggered you.

What I Am Currently Obsessed With

One of the things that has been surprisingly helpful for me lately is paint-by-number.

It gives my hands something to do while my mind works through what is actually going on underneath the surface.

Sometimes, when I meditate, and I am worried or overwhelmed, my thoughts just get louder. My body feels restless, and it becomes harder to shift out of the spiral.

When I have a lot to process emotionally and mentally, it helps me immensely to be doing something with my hands that requires just enough attention to keep me focused, and gives my brain a place to rest without shutting off completely.

My mind doesn't become quiet; it processes, and my emotions come up, and the movement soothes me and keeps me anchored in the present.

The emotional charge softens and I can start to recognize at a deeper level what I am actually feeling.

The irritation.
The defensiveness.
The sadness.

The worry.

Busy hands do not make everything disappear.
But they can create enough space for clarity to emerge.

And sometimes that is exactly what I need.

Inspiration Corner

Curiosity can transform an overreaction into an opportunity for healing and a path toward peace.

Clear the Debris Before You Plant What Is Next

When we are carrying emotional residue from stress worry or past experiences it quietly takes up space in our nervous system making it harder to respond intentionally instead of reactively.

Our reactions and triggers often show us exactly where our next area of growth is.

They point toward what deeply matters to us where our energy is being stretched thin and where something may need more care protection or change.

After taking time to clear some of the emotional buildup that can quietly take up space in our nervous system, March invites us into something different.

The work we are doing in March is about cultivating the soil for your spring intentions.

Not just in one area of life but across the many forms of abundance you may be longing for.

Money= Safety, stability, and ease in your financial flow

Imagination= Creative energy, ideas, inspiration

Synchronicity= Right time opportunities and meaningful coincidences

Gifts= Unexpected blessings and support

Aligned Exchange= Mutual generosity, reciprocity, and value

As we move into a new season, this Frequency Shift will focus on planting the seeds of what you want to grow and supporting the conditions that allow them to take root.
