Interrupt

This is the behavioral change model. You think something. You form a belief about it. Based on that belief, you take some sort of action. The action then reinforces the thought.

Let Go

There they are. The most important words in our language. You can argue that, “I Am,” used in a healthy and constructive manner without a delusion is a contender…. …but it loses. We try to hold on to things that we think are precious. We try so hard we don’t even see what the effort […]
