unjust treatment

Don't Let Emotional Triggers Get You Down!

Don't Let Emotional Triggers Get You Down!
Have you been in a place where you have been growing in faith and love, and then you see something happen to throw you off guard? You have been praying, fasting, and getting spiritually strengthened, and then it happens… You’re hit with a strike to the heart that you never saw coming!

Well, this happened to me as I had been praying and spending time with God, I had decided I needed to go and pray in our church. I had offered to clean the church so I could spend some needed time in prayer in the church. And then it happened…

The person I had asked to help out pretty much hit me with words I never saw coming. She said, "if you loved me, you would be transparent and tell me you need money…” WHOA!!! Where did that come from? 😳 I was not ready for that. In fact, I was a bit hurt that she didn't trust that I was truly seeking to spend time working in the church. And get this, she was a relative of mine!

Well, after that, I let her know I do love her and that God provides all my needs and that was not the reasoning behind what I was doing. I was trying to remain in a loving tone and I didn't want this to get me down. I prayed and asked God to help me in this situation, and I went to church and she didn't even come near to apologize even when I told her those words really hurt me. It made me feel small. 

I went home from church and began to do something I hadn't done in a while...emotional eating. I had been doing so well with my eating, but before I knew it, sadness had set in because of the unjust treatment being sent my way. I started to wonder why I could not stop eating at those moments. The one true issue was the emotional trigger dealing with unjust treatment and I had not dealt with those issues and it kept me in a state of self-sabotage for many years. 

If you feel triggers rise up in you, don't let them get you down! Pick yourself back up again as you stay in prayer, and surrender your all to continue doing God's work in those moments.

Now, I have learned to open my heart to God in those moments, and I learned to recognize my triggers and pay attention when situations generate strong emotional responses. He also helped me to see that “we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12 NLT). 

Forgiveness is key to helping you move towards a brighter future in God's kingdom as you grow closer in alignment with His Word. 

If you have difficulty loving others as God commanded us to do, don’t beat yourself up. Give yourself grace as you learn to deal with emotional triggers that cause you emotional trauma. This life is a journey and now is the time to begin moving towards freedom in our hearts. One way to do so is to begin journaling your feelings and what you are going through each day to begin seeing some progress by opening your heart towards God and man.

Meet Tabitha King

 
For years, I felt helpless inside my own body.

Hi, I am a wife and mother, a minister, a massage therapist, and a holistic health coach. 
I am passionate about working with the body and learning more about how our bodies work, but more importantly, how to be made whole in our bodies, minds, and spirits.

Through the years, I had become a workaholic and never felt any peace. I was overwhelmed and stressed with dis-ease and pain.  I had to stop working for a while because of the chronic pain while having a husband and three children at home who needed me. 

I struggled with my health for quite some time, and I went through worse times before they got better. 

How many times have you been to a doctor, and they acted as if they couldn't figure out what's going on with you, so you go seeking doctor after doctor, looking for someone to help you because you know you are dealing with pain and need help figuring out the problem? How many times have you tried to create new habits, start new diets, introduce new patterns in your life, and end up feeling like you failed at all those things? 

And then, it happened. I have found something amazing that is helping me to understand I AM a healthy being, and I CAN recommit to a healthy, wealthy life!

I was introduced to a different way of living that many people are talking a lot about lately. I realized for my chronic situations; I needed to start getting my health under control. I’d considered it before, but I kept cycling back into a downward spiral going through a valley filled with pain. 

Prolonged physical illness not only affects us physically, but it affects everyone physically, mentally, and spiritually. Many tend to suffer a lot at the hands of doctors who make them worse, not better. I have dealt with this and it has put a bitter taste in my mouth towards doctors. The different medications did not lead to helping me get better, but they caused more pain, and side effects from the medicines caused deeper stress to my body. Anger, hurt, and pain kept showing up in my life, and I didn't know how to deal with it. These things controlled my mind, but now I am being made free. I love God, but, for quite some time, while I knew the Word says, "There is now no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus," I was still suffering from condemnation, guilt, blame, and shame.  Now, I have learned to persevere with joy during my pain because in the end, by faith, God will get the victory through my life's journey, and I can walk in my victory daily!

I’m on a mission to help people break free and empower themselves with the knowledge and resources I’ve worked so hard to get for myself.
