Triggers and solutions
I have already once written about it. But this is an important topic and I am willing to share my triggers with the hope that you can also realize some of your own triggers.
Previous triggers post if you want to read it.
HALT(Hungry Angry Lonely Tired), BLAST(Bored Lonely Angry Stressed Tired). These are great. Adding hunger to BLAST will actually have most of the triggers.
Still there are some triggers that are worth mentioning and finding solutions.
