Finding the root cause is the keyTips for identifying triggersIf you can identify and understand your triggers, you can work to avoid them and to cope. You can learn specific coping strategies to handle the triggers when they happen. Here are three tips for identifying triggers:Start a journal. Write down when your anxiety, worry, or stress is noticeable and record what you think might have led to the trigger. Some apps can help you track your anxiety, too. Using the Manual from the 7-day Challenge is a great way to do this. Work with a natural health practitioner. Some anxiety triggers can be difficult to identify, but a natural health specialist has training that can help you. They may use talk therapy, energy work, or other methods to find triggers. Be honest with yourself. Anxiety and stress can cause negative thoughts and poor self-assessments. When you get into a worry cycle it can make identifying triggers difficult because of the anxious reactions. Be patient with yourself and be willing to explore things in your past to identify how they may affect you today.
