Summary

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Controlling Your Emotional Triggers April 11, 2025 | Episode 5070 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ever catch yourself doing exactly what you promised you'd never do? In this episode, Scott shares a personal moment when he lost his cool with his wife - proving that even "Mr. Positivity" has triggering moments! Discover how your emotional habits can activate before your logical brain catches up, and learn Scott's practical three-step approach to gaining control over those unwanted emotional reactions. Featured Story Scott confesses to having a meltdown while trying to exit an airport parking lot after returning home sick from the Podcast Movement Convention. He could not stop the emotional cascade despite setting personal rules against such behavior. This relatable story highlights how we're all human, and sometimes our emotions override our best intentions, especially when we're tired, stressed, or not feeling well. Key Takeaways Your emotions serve as a personal alarm system, providing critical information about internal and external events. Triggers are often rooted in past experiences that resurface unexpectedly, activating robust emotional responses that can feel misaligned with current situations. Even the most logical people are emotional beings - understanding this balance is key to developing emotional intelligence and regaining control. Memorable Quotes "The better things are going on in life, the more challenges you will have, but that's how things are." "We're not designed to squash our emotional reactions - they're kind of like a personal alarm system." "Controlling behaviors that have been on autopilot for years takes work, but with awareness and discipline, you can change your response." Scott's Three-Step Approach Catch yourself after the trigger happens - notice your mistake and promise to catch it soon. When triggered again, catch yourself while being triggered and get control as soon as possible. With practice, you'll begin to catch yourself before the trigger happens and avoid unwanted reactions altogether. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
