break the pattern

"In times of pressure and stress, we usually see what someone is made of, right? That's when we see someone's real temperament.

Now imagine being totally stressed out. Visualize yourself being pressured by an outside source; you've got a deadline coming up or your boyfriend is telling you everything that you do wrong. Watch the dialogue in your head. Are you listening to the voice of the Light ["this is happening for a positive reason"]...or are you listening to the voice of the Opponent ["life sucks"]?

If your buttons are being triggered and you are coming from a place of hopelessness, you're listening to the Opponent.

Today is your chance to break the pattern. What could you do differently when responding to this trigger?"
