I'm really hoping that it works for you too, cryingontheinside.
Here are some hints based on my experience.
Don't start off trying to change your thoughts and feelings, just make lots and lots of micro decisions where you're doing something *immediately*.
Also, keep in mind that no will power is involved. If you're using will power, you're doing it wrong! You can think of it like this: Just before you do anything, you must have decided to do that thing, right? You job is to catch that moment and SNAP when it happens.
Here are some things I do:
o When I get out of bed in the morning: SNAP
o Getting dressed requires many decisions: SNAP, SNAP, SNAP
o When I decide to stand up?: SNAP
o Walk, drive or take the bus?: SNAP
o Walking down the street, I often make random decisions like
......a) I'm going to touch that stop sign as I pass SNAP
......b) I'm going to not step on cracks for a while SNAP
......c) When I get to the corner, I'm going to stop for 5 seconds and just look around SNAP
......d) I'm going to grab that fall leaf and carry it with me on my walk SNAP
o Doing any kind of shopping requires lots of decisions: SNAP SNAP SNAP
o When to exercise and what kind? SNAP SNAP
o Which shoe to tie first, left or right? SNAP
o What to eat first, string beans or rice? SNAP
o Time for my morning coffee? SNAP
o Going through double doors: left or right? SNAP
o Go up the stairs left foot first or right? SNAP
o Go up the stairs two at a time? SNAP
o Do the dishes? Vacuum? Clean up? SNAP SNAP SNAP
If you enjoy the SNAP, I think that's a good sign. If you're making up your own things to SNAP to, that's a good sign. SNAP loudly and boldly. The magic of snapping is a beautiful thing.
