Ever find yourself wondering why certain comments or situations can instantly light a fuse within you? Welcome back to our podcast, where I, Bill De La Cruz, unravel the often-complex web of emotional triggers and our reactions to them. By sharing my own journey and the wisdom from my books "Flipping Failure" and "Finding the Origination Point," this episode promises to guide you from a place of quickfire reactions to one of insightful understanding and control. We'll look at physiological signs, the power of recognition, and taking ownership of our responses to turn personal challenges into opportunities for growth.

Feeling stuck in a loop of negative self-talk and emotional upheaval? Join us as we break down how journaling and self-reflection can help rewrite the narrative that dictates our lives. I open up about how transforming my own story from one of self-doubt to that of empowerment has altered my reactions, and how you, too, can apply these strategies to your life. We'll discuss how parsing through triggering events and identifying false beliefs not only brings clarity but also shapes a more resilient mindset, fostering constructive engagement with the world around us.

In this heartfelt talk, I also shed light on the self-protective behaviors that we often deploy unconsciously, which may do more harm than good in our relationships. Learn how to spot these defense mechanisms and pivot towards a narrative of accountability and growth.
