In general there are physical triggers. We all know those well. Avoid them as much as possible.
There are also stresses that can be triggers. Only you can know your own triggers. You know what things tend to lead you to bad places. Those need to be dealt with in a healthy way. Mainly, by accepting that they are the ratzon Hashem, and as much as we'd rather have things our way, we have an all powerful, all loving father who gives us EXACTLY what we need each moment.

Though there are some triggers that are very common.There's an acronym known as RID which stands for Restlessness Irritability Depression.We may not even realize at the time that it's the reason that's causing us to act out but once you stop for a while and can't do it anymore, some people realize that this is what they were doing all along to help themselves feel better.
