Honest to god, I first started thanking my future self with the slightest of gratitude whenever I put a new roll of toilet paper on the dispenser before the previous roll would end & I would make myself say out loud “thank you past per diem”. When the roll was out & I couldn’t possibly think of doing one thing that wasn’t vital, I’d think “future per diem would LOVE it if I did this”. As little as a 10 second roll exchange plus things like trying to change my mindset. I had heard a study about how your brain remembers how many times you pick the slowest line in the grocery store & how your emotions amplify the feelings. Most people feel heavy emotions about being behind a slow line & think “why me” while what’s really happening is that you’re just paying soo much attention to it you feel it happens too much. So as a rehab, when you go quickly through stop lights or whiz through the grocery line, really soak that in & feel that. Feel the with and refrain from the without narrative. You feel like you’re always in the slowest lane b/c you only focus on it when you’re in the slow lane feeling negative. If you can’t diffuse the emotion then pump up the opposite emotion. Start taking stock in how often you get a lucky break. Even the slightest. It starts to change you when you’re not looking.
