Dear Cai Chica:

Well, I woke up later than usual this morning, so I figure I rested. Still feel tired though, somewhat.

“Where is the ‘habit’ and pattern? In the brain, or the action?”- everything starts in the brain, what an amazing organ it is. My former therapist mentioned to me “habits of the mind”, we have a whole lot of those. There are some mental habits that are actualized, such as when a person regularly overeats or takes a daily walk, and some habits are not actualized, such as a person wanting to overeat but does not.

Some mental habits, when starved for a long time (not being actualized) do go away, and that is good news!

I was wondering most recently, about your .. I suppose mental habit of glorifying other people, like the couple going to Florida, going on and on about their success- it is fueled by your feeling of inferiority, that is, feeling inferior to others?
