stretches	of	time	when	you’re	no	longer	deliberately	thinking	about	the
strategies.	You	may	feel	that	you’re	“in	the	zone,”	able	to	effortlessly	manage
life’s	hardships.
Still,	even	with	progress,	it’s	easy	for	us	to	go	back	to	old	ways	of
thinking	and	acting.	Consider	placing	sticky	notes	in	key	locations	(car,
bedroom	mirror)	or	reminders	on	your	digital	calendar	of	the	strategies	that
are	working	well	for	you	so	you	keep	them	top	of	mind	and	use	them	even
when	you	may	not	feel	like	you	need	
them.
	
Also,	set	a	reminder	on	your
calendar	once	or	twice	a	month	to	review	the	material	in	this	book	and	what
you’ve	written	in	your	notebook	(even	if	you	think	you	don’t	need	to!).
Goal	Setting
Each	time	you	reach	a	goal,	consider	the	strategies	that	got	you	there	and	if
it’s	possible	to	expand	those	strategies	to	reach	even	larger	goals.	For
example,	perhaps	you	implemented	“total	worry	time”	(
here
	
)	and	it	worked.
Now	that	you’ve	discovered	its	effectiveness,	consider	making	it	a	goal	to	do
this	strategy	on	a	daily	basis.	Or	if	you	recognize	that	
“Watching	Your
Thoughts”
	
works	when	under	stress,	consider	implementing	this	strategy
