The beauty of having a system, a scientific approach or a method to your task is that it teaches us about our own emotional landscape.
Whether it’s training, sales, marketing, or developing your relationships, having a structure in place can help remove some of the emotional resistance that can come into play (and stop our progression!).
Further more, it can help create a mirror and teach us more about our own thought patterns and tendancies.
1. What resistant thoughts are arising?
2. What is our go-to object/method of distraction?
3. What is the “trade?” What is the subconscious or physiological “benefit” for deviating from the system or practice? A dopamine hit, short term reward, fear of being wrong/standing out?
Of course, we don’t always need a system, but without one, we need even more attention and awareness of our daily actions and patterns.
