Explore a recurring belief or rule · D8.10
Review a rule that may no longer fit
A personal rule seems connected to an earlier situation that has changed.
Everyday practice
Try these steps
- Write the rule and what it once helped you manage, if you know.
- Compare the current circumstances with that earlier context without needing to revisit difficult memories.
- Choose whether to keep the rule, add an exception, replace it, or leave it under review.
An example
I used to keep every evening free for shift changes. My hours are different now, so I could plan one evening activity.
Reflect
What does the rule still protect, and what does it cost?
Next time
Change it at a pace you choose; you do not have to force yourself to let go.
