Take Aways
-A default in this context is: is a pre-selected option that you choose to do if there is not an alternative that you want more.
-Creating defaults leads to more freedom.
-Having defaults saves time and energy. It saves your decision making power for other decisions.
-Defaults keep hopelessness at bay. They reduce confusion, distraction, and uncertainty.
-Defaults free our mind up to consider other things.
-Choose one default in each of these areas: food, housekeeping, quiet time, exercise, sleep, friendships and/or relationships, and self care.
🚩 You are using defaults incorrectly if you feel irritated because you weren't able to do your default. You are likely treating it like a routine.
-A default can't be interrupted because it is simply a pre-selected option. If there is an alternative that you want more, DO IT.
