This is super cool. We don't have to do much, honestly.
So the key thing here is that whatever we do, engage in neurologically, will strengthen over time. So if I like need my blankie to go to sleep, it'll be hard to sleep without my blankie. As I become more dependent on my blankie, I need my blankie.
But the cool thing is that if I stop using my blankie, the first night it'll be really hard for me to sleep. The second night it'll be really hard for me to sleep. The third night it'll be hard for me to sleep. But then it gets easier over time. This extinguishes. So any behavior that worked for us will slowly extinguish over time. The desire for those behaviors will slowly go down over time.
So the main thing that you need to do if you're putting together your life, but there are echoes of your past bad behavior that keep on popping up in your head. What you need more than anything else is patience. Recognize that every time you don't give in, it gets weaker. And every time you do give in, it gets stronger.
