Stay in Your Lane

Something outside of you — another person’s opinion, their behaviour, their choices, their whole way of being in the world has activated something inside you. And your system has gone into a kind of alert state. You start thinking:

— “How can they think like this?”

— “This is so wrong.”

— “Why won’t they just…”

Let’s be very real about what happens inside you when you’re triggered. When you’re sitting with:

• anger at someone
• frustration by their views
• a mental argument you’re having with them in your head

This guide helps you understand this from a novel perspective, and gives you ways to get around this issue.
