All memes aside, I loved this post. The graphic of combining options to create a successful plan resonated with me and unlocked something in my brain. I’ve never thought about it quite like this.
I’ve had problems with addictive behaviors in the past. The way I overcame them was via your idea of coordinating multiple things all at once. I just kept writing down every trigger or circumstance that promoted relapse. With each new one I wrote down, I’d say, “well, at least this thing won’t get me again. It may be a different thing tomorrow, but at least it won’t be this thing since I’m keeping an eye on it now.”
Ha! Love the meme. Thanks so much for your comment, what a compliment to have “unlocked something” in someone’s brain! I absolutely hear you on the addiction issue, that’s an interesting take to stack the measures—glad that’s working for you.
