Uncover Mental Loops
“These habitual thoughts control our emotions, our behaviors, and ultimately our lives. Because they are deeply embedded, the product of years of experience and upbringing, these loops can be hard to track down. The best way of debugging these negative loops is to look at the quality of your life, more specifically for areas of pain. For example:
• Difficulty in relationships
• Difficulty at work
• Difficulty with family members
• Legal trouble
• Money trouble
• Health trouble
• Persistent negative beliefs ("I'll never succeed", "people are untrustworthy")
• Persistent negative feelings (cynicism, hopelessness, despair)
• Persistent failure
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Addiction
• Living in your parents' basement (or worse yet, your parents' car)”
