I've noticed a pattern. An environment is setup to get me to a "enough is enough” mindset in order for me to break through the barriers impeding my path and instill in me a new believe system. Let's use candy as an metaphor. I have a casual desire to reduce the amount of candy I consume. Casual desire equates to casual determination, resolve, and performance. I continued eat too much candy because my resolve is only casual. The ultimate goal is to reduce my weight and improve my health. Until I control my candy consumption, my other efforts for weight management are hindered.
With BAMM I see the removal of all resolve to stop eating candy (like I have no self-control). I still desire to control the amount of candy but with almost zero resolve. I eat to excess with only the rewards of short term satisfaction while reaping the consequences of my actions (a candy hangover).
I see the intent of this path is to have me hit rock bottom (skid row) and keep me in that state until I get to the point that my mind state changes to “enough is enough” and “I never want to be here again”. The intent is to increase my desire, determination and resolve to break free of my existing behavior which results in a casual determination.
This is a cyclical growth process with lower rock bottoms and larger growth until I'm so fed up with the eating of candy that I turn and never look back. A new believes system is born with a determination, resolve, and desire to remove candy from my live. The risk is that I become addicted to candy and it becomes the master.
I’m becoming fed up with many things but not all are to the point that I’ve said enough is enough.
