That's great that you see the pattern, and make the effort to break it. I think that's key.
I go thru the roller coaster regularly myself. Even though there seems to be no negative movement with my M, sometimes I just get hypersensitive or impatient. I just try to recognize it and think thru it. A lot of it leads back to my wanting to control things and when I see that, it's easier to get back to my normal self.
