Triggers and How to Deal With Them

1.  irritation I feel when spend lots of time with mom:  try to figure out what that is
2.  Kiku and Keisuke sarcastically/jokingly? making fun of me - I feel bad and get anxious and more stupid.  Need to keep mouth shut with anxious/set a boundary about that - explain my true feelings.
3.  Glen's big sighs and head shaking.  That starts to set me off.  It's controlling behavior and rather than state the issue he does that crap.  It annoys me no end.  My healthier reaction:  walk away, don't yell at him, let him drive except that bothers me also because he doesn't process quickly enough when it's somewhere new.  Mostly, I do let him drive, but I think we need to say that if I know where the place is and he doesn't, I need to be able to drive.
4.  Traffic:  learning to say serenity and breathe; let go and let God; live and let live
5.  Too many places to be/not enough sleep:  Need to do healthy bedtime routines starting around 9 and only meditate starting around 9:30.  Do the abc to get back to sleep.  Keep journals of duties so I don't have to keep thinking about them.  Lessen number of places need to be unless the situation is urgent.
