Figuring Out Your Own Chronic Patterns
How can you figure out your own chronic patterns? Fairly easily. Look back at the end of the day at what you did that day that you wish you hadn’t. There are your chronic patterns—pulsating, fluorescent. Write down what it was and then ask, “What would be the exact opposite of that?” You can come up with [think of] a contradiction [to the distress]. Ask your counselors, “What are my chronic patterns that I should be aware of?” They’ll tell you.
