The reason for saying and I will never change my mind in AVRT is that the beast has no sense of time so that voice will use time against you with thoughts of, well what about on x day or y situation, so when you say never change my mind that Ahole voice often falls silent. But of course it's always right now so it's the same as saying I never drink now and I will never change my mind. It's mindfulness and CBT.
But to each their own. Do what works for you!
