Four Life Trajectories Explain Recovery Patterns
- Lee Warren models life trajectories as crashers, climbers, untouchables, and dippers to show how people respond to hardship differently.
- Mapping these patterns highlights that mindset and habits determine whether you recover, improve, or remain stuck.
Prepare Yourself Before Making Changes
- Prepare mentally and physically before attempting a change and avoid doing self-brain surgery when overwhelmed or distracted.
- Use a brief 'scrub in' routine to calm physiology and activate frontal lobe decision-making first.
Use A Timeout To Frame Your Shift
- Do a timeout: state the problem, risks, and what you'll do before you begin shifting behaviors.
- Agree with yourself on the goal so you can expose and then attack limiting beliefs one by one.
