Not a knock or being troll-y but that sound like a religion. As in, funny how patterns established in religion are just as effective outside that context.
- hh3k0 5y agoI hope I am not oversharing but I definitely need my patterns to cope, I have ADHD so perhaps it is related to that. Maybe something along the lines of lessening the impact my poor impulse control has on my life by avoiding situations in which I could act impulsively. For example, I do not buy sweets and pretty much never have any at home because ignoring them in the store is easier than ignoring them at home. For me, it is an Herculean task to start a bag of sweets _without_ also finishing it in one sitting… but buying no sweets in the store? That is easy peasy lemon squeezy.
