Breaking Free from CSD

"How you do anything is how you do everything" - Unknown

We've identified the CSD (Could, Should, Don't) virus as the major source of inaction and neglect. How do we stop it from spreading like wildfire though our lives? How do we eliminate it or reduce it to a manageable level, where our dreams are not threatened?

I am beginning to think that the key to this is zero tolerance. Major Giuliani in New York reduced burgeoning crime by targeting even the most trivial misdemeanours. The theory here is that if you prevent even the little viruses from taking hold, then the big ones will find it more difficult too. So what if we began to form habits of discipline that targeted the lowest levels of neglect? What if we gradually eliminated all the small CSD viruses and created an unattractive environment for CSD in our mind? OK, that sounds good, but how exactly?

I'm thinking, what are the silly little things that are clear symptoms of neglect that we can tackle easily? What about tidying up? The bedroom, the garage (usually a good one), the desk, the inbox. the kitchen, the bookshelf etc are all simple starting points. I have experienced tremendous flow of energy after tidying up and this then has allowed me to tackle bigger CSD viruses. You can also set up tidiness-maintenance habits, which preserve order.

Of course, the issue goes much further than mere external clutter. One needs to address internal clutter also. There are four levels at which this operates

1. Physical
2. Emotional
3. Mental
4. Spiritual

The journey away from CSD and into Flow involves removing the blocks at these four levels. We will explore each one in turn - building zero tolerance habits that create a CSD-free life.
