Or, perhaps more specifically, they have pushed a reset button in me.
Very, very important. Now all you have to do is learn how to instantly and fluidly push that button for yourself any time. I think what you did for yourself with your moratorium is roughly equivalent to what I did for myself with my "don't hug people who don't hug you back" resolution. One key point to consider which has something to do with Corri's current thread is that simply noticing in a non-reactive manner that somebody isn't "hugging you back" is half the problem solved. The "why?" isn't important. What is important is to simply behave appropriately.
