When trying to change a #habit....be patient

> It is RARELY a black and white process
> Yet most act or expect it to be this way

Here is a diagram illustrating how the process works

*Note - It is one perspective and not entirely conclusive*

The 1st most important point

Conscious attention + will are a SEPARATE skill from understanding, re-association and understanding

It should be regarded as a SKILL

This is so the individual knows it CAN be cultivated beyond normal levels

The 2nd important point

There are two stages when you are approaching resolution

- False disappearance & disappearance

False disappearance - Where a habit seems resolved - but spontaneously arises when an external trigger drastically deviates from the norm

Hence 'black swan'

3rd important point

'Black swan' here reveals the habit has been more deeply ingrained than first realized.

It is a Q that you are on the right path - but need to go slightly deeper.

Misunderstanding this can make you REGRESS - like giving up right before a mountain summit
