Read This Before Your Travel This Thanksgiving!
How to unlock travel triggers for each Myers-Briggs® type is an uncommon way to become aware of pesky, out-of-balance personality traits. (updated 11.15.2023)
It is about traveling into wakefulness.
Would it not be fabulous if, while away, you realized a ritualized habit that is sabotaging in nature? You could observe it, figure out what triggered it, and then take time to sort through it. Of course, you may not be able to get to the bottom of it while away, but celebrate the fact that you have seen something about yourself that you had not previously recognized – this is the path to live an inspired life.
Of course, this is a bit harder if you travel over Thanksgiving to see family; trigger moments are bound to happen. Are you ready to change this behavior? If not…come back next week for a new blog; if you are ready – read on!
Travel For Betterment Means Unlocking Travel Triggers For Each Myers-Briggs® Type
CELEBRATE YOU, because this is what traveling for betterment is all about. It does not have to be a gigantic transformational moment right there on the spot. Much of the commercialized spiritual movement is about having an earth-shattering, aha moment. Please, if you get to that point, you have ignored priceless messages your spirit mind has been whispering to you for decades. I speak to this truth as my 7-year life tsunami was my reckoning moment when I realized I had been ignoring the whispers, waiting for an aha moment. Not a smart move on my part.
Taking small steps is a time to pinpoint your truth without needing external validation or influence. I believe this is how you find your True Self, the truth of who you really are. When you find your truth, passion, and purpose follow.
A brief look at what triggers each persona.
I hope this inspires you to take the first step.
