Thank you — and that is a very astute question. Bottom line: repetition of deliberately setting priorities, managing boundaries, and seeking alignment helps smooth out many rough edges, not just in solitude, but in the ‘real world’ as well.
My most robust thoughts on how the PBA Framework is effective to ‘hold when real-life chaos … comes rushing back in’ is in my article about how I applied the framework to save my life-long goal of playing in a band again.
The above example of validation in solitude gave a direct comparison to my previous state… and showed the PBA Framework is effective to stabilize,through times of chaos, ie: a season of chronic overwhelm and crippling anxiety. So far, that seems to be the most effective function, which makes sense, because that’s why I had to develop it. :)
You're right. In much of my military experience, effective training involved repetition. When a framework (checklist?) becomes habit, its goals tend to accomplish themselves by default.
Thank you for bringing another great question. :) My writing here has evolved. At first, I was figuring things out and documenting my journey. Now I'm refining the framework I built to survive, so I can share it with others to help some find hope and healing.
As for something bigger... check back in six months or a year. I'm still building one brick (weekly missive) at a time. 8^)
Excellent, great writing.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the article. :)
