Chapter 2: Gain Awareness

I affectionately call this chapter “The chapter that everyone really, really needs to read, but doesn’t want to read!” Here we talk about the core of learning to yell less: tracking your triggers. Ugh. I know. “Tracking triggers” sounds like work; that’s because it is work. And it sounds time-consuming. That’s because it is time-consuming. But you know what else it is? An absolutely powerful and necessary tool. Learning about my triggers quickly gave me concrete insights and ideas on how to start successfully managing my desire to yell. From tracking, I taught myself how to master my triggers instead of letting them master me. Did learning about my triggers make me uncomfortable? Absolutely. Acknowledging that I had a big, ugly deficiency in the parenting bucket isn’t exactly something that I would like to do every day, for this realization rocked me to the core. But tracking triggers, well, this rocked me to the core in a whole new way because what I learned made my life quieter, calmer, happier, and easier, too!
