Spirals and paths. How do we find the right path, how do we know we are on a path to positivity or wellbeing? Speaking to the three questions just below Peter and Todd provide our responses and discuss points which pop up along the way.
Intended topic questions:
- What are the things which can disrupt the flow or routine in life?
- How can we hedge against spirals which are taking us away from our intentions?
- How do we break the spiral and get realigned?
Mental habit / action / tool examples:
- Set routines can help us keep moving in a positive way.
- To acknowledge the lens of positivity, and employ it, can be useful in how we navigate life.
- Instead of focusing upon the things you dislike, switch to the things you do (like) instead.
- The more beaten the 'path' of habits, the more well defined they become.
- Structure and routine can be very soothing and result in stability for some personalities.
- Comparing oneself to a previous version can be a double edge sword.
- Commitment is a key, for some, to reorientation.
- Balance is extremely hard for some to achieve. Knowing the type of person you are when looking at where you'd like to be or go can be a very useful tool.
- Using food to teach yourself a lesson can be a dangerous lever to pull.
- When there are planned events, letting oneself off the 'hook' can offset a negative spiral.
- Unplanned changes can create a rut or disruption.
- Working back in incremental and intentional ways can help restore a path to stability.
