Yes.
- Learn the skill of neutral and non-reactive self-observation. Learn to keep it on full time.
- Adopt a policy of 100% honesty with yourself.
- Accept 100% responsibility for your own emotions, thoughts and actions. No one else can cause them.
- Keep a journal if you have problems with memory.
- Over time, the patterns become clear, the common thing that underlies and drives the pattern becomes clear - and then one is free to choose a different approach.
- Or, if something's not working, try a different approach anyway, and let the deeper understandings reveal themselves later.
