Makes me think though - we make so many of these decisions in micro seconds, and the divergent paths we could take just from a casual or flip yes vs no answer.
I know that if had hit up that dive bar yesterday I would for sure had one then another and then suddenly have stayed until closing time, crept home, slept in and missed work or made it and been rude to someone, and would still be skunking around hungover 8 hours later. No question.
And then what - day one again? or worse - on a bender for weeks, flailing around lost and sick and tired.
Instead, I got home, took a hot shower, shrugged it off and today was great - productive, on top of things, calm. Life's a funny funny thing really…
I suppose every time we practice saying no (flex flex!) the subconscious or neural networks (or AV) must take note.
