The past few weeks I’ve been doing a lot of posture/physical tick based TAPs (not slouching, not biting lips etc). These seem to be very well fit to TAPs, because the trigger is a physical movement, making it easier to notice. I’ve noticed roughly three phases of noticing triggers
I suddenly become aware of the fact I’ve been doing the action.
I become aware of the fact that I’ve initiated the action.
Before any physical movement happens, I notice the “impulse” to do the thing .
To make a TAP run deep, it seems the key is to train up the ladder and be able to deal with triggers and actions on the level where they first originate in the mind.
