I was thinking last night. You know that three o’clock in the morning think that you try to not get all wound up around the politics and sheer awfulness of the time— and try to quiet the grinding wheels that can spin up over anything. I have been doing some personal delving recently which has quieted some of the greater demons and given my a little space to come to some new conclusions.

One question surfaced last night, if you have triggers on one side of a spectrum, what is on the other side— spiggots? Triggers do not just happen, but are built up and something out there throws a switch to send all of the cyclical stuff I carry around into action—which then builds more and more anxiety and anger. If you can break the cycle and sense, “oops, sliding into this one” and change out the behavior, then you can begin to stop the cycle of getting to the end game of anxiety and emotion. This is a place need to stop going to—and need to learn changes to put in place to live a happier, more balanced and a more mindful life.

I believe that there is always a counterpoint. So, if you have triggers on one side of the equation, what is on the other side—let’s call them spiggots for now. If you are super mindful, can you put yourself in a place to just let it all go—to live in the moment without triggers and anxiety? How is it that one can identify that you are going on that path and instead of stopping that flow (as in the case of triggers) you increase the flow to soak in the benefits, anxiety free, demon free, and independent of anything but the moment. No past, no future. Now.

Is there such a thing?
