Yes what we are trying to achieve is being consciously aware of flaws we make in our learning process. It's a delicate process for some because some can get defensive, but if we practice being as honest as possibly we can better tackle the issue. Once we bring those issues too the surface and are aware we need to do something, we consciously can work forward at working to instill change in our mind, by the process of exercise, we literately drill that into our brains until it becomes natural and we no longer need to consciously think about it. We challenge an old irrational belief that we are used to doing, and replace it with a better one that we believe is more rational.
I did an experiment this saturday where I went to a party to hang out with some friends. And I made it without drinking. So that was nice. But socializing still freaks me out. I used to party a lot. And now I have to be someone else - someone that I've been all along. But I've just been too scared to let this part of me come out. Yai. I'm coming out.
Thats wonderful, you made progress! you move from being consciously aware of a flaw in your lifestyle and now you are consciously taking action to fix it.
So now that you identified some flaws in your logic in social situations, we have to work at dealing with them and we need to track our progress to avoid hopelessness. I would start by listing our known flaws, then list how we can work to replace them with a more rational belief. We can make notes to this list on any big or small improvements we made towards fixing them, don't worry to much about failure, failure is just a sign that we are still learning, once we fixed and mastered it, we can unconsciously free our mind from it because it becomes unconsciously done without thought. Identify our flaws, work actively to train our brain to adapt a new belief, fix the error.
I get from your EnFp myers briggs profile that you are a very social person and probably have no problem making friends. One thing I read up is that you are a more go with the flow type and less organized person, I personally like a balance of both, so organization is probably tough for you. I think by tracking your progress, you are also improving your organizational skills further. I would list that in things we improve on, also you can put in more skills like thinking more logically, take charge of our life etc.
I think a plan is a great idea and I have been eating the same things for a week now and I feel good about that. And it's easy. I've had a few situations where I've had a salad and some bread but that just doesn't feel as good. I'm becoming more sensitive even after a week.
I think this is interesting, one thing to consider is it might just be a psychological thing too, we know you are working at it so your brain might just be turned off more because we know more about the bad effects of going off track. It's a grey area for me but I think our mind has more influence then we know, so it could just very well be a shift in perception and also our body adjusting to the diet.
I will still do this gradually - and I will continue to eat the things that I've been eating the last couple of days. I'm getting used to eating the yolks and I'm having a cucumber - tomato-avocado salad with me which is very practical.
I like gradually, but be aware that we will make slower progress and it will be a little harder to track that progress, so make sure you track any little improvements you make over time to keep your spirits up.
but it's a great tool for dealing with what I have to deal with right now.
