Self Mastery - Case Formulation And Smart Goals.

Case Formulation:

There is a lower self, which can be classified with the following activities, sexual perversion, mindless wandering, food binging, and lethargy. If I engage in them they drag me down. I lost inspiration, direction, clarity. My physical health and relationship come in danger. I lose confidence and my self-worth becomes low. I become cruel and then the world which is very impersonal becomes personal and I feel like fish who has taken the bait.

The challenge is that these impulses are by default strong, If I do not master them they naturally start to manifest as action and pulling me down. They become addictive. Also, this is the biggest hindrance to self-realization.

On the other hand, If I can master them, I gain clarity and inspiration, I can do what I believe is right. I feel directed and confident, my relationship and health become stronger. I feel great about myself. I feel compassion towards others who are stuck with these baits. I feel liberated and find the peace and joy of self. I am touching the field of love, oneness, ecstasy.

Specific - I want to practice not listening to these 4 impulses. When the impulse triggered I just to be present and relax and observe the sensations.

Measure - How many times I was able to stay present with these impulses. How strong the impulse was. When did I slip. Why?

Attainable - It is very attainable.

Realistic - It is realistic

Time-Bound - 30 days challenge.

One obstacle I am facing is that, a part of me is attached to some of these things, and sometimes I feel a lack of commitment. It is very clear that it is extremely important and I want to do it.

I write self-monitoring twice a day.
