hought patterns are like the route you take to-and-from someplace on a regular basis. You can practically traverse them without much conscious thought. You may even travel that route when you meant to go somewhere else because you are so used to taking that route.
We realized today that we are thinking about binge drinking and eating all the time, and that is what is inevitably bringing it into our universe. We must stop the thoughts in order to stop the behavior. What you think about, you bring about. We have enough self-discipline to deny ourselves for periods of time, but that can only last so long. We have to eliminate the threats from our world all-together.
Today, we take a new route. When thoughts of behaviors that we know we don't want to give in to enter our minds, we say, "maturity, power, and grace," because those are the behaviors we do want to exhibit.
