Particularly the reading and writing and commenting that can be done here seems to be very useful in warding off the ideological settling you describe is possible. Reading a variety of voices seems to be equivalent to being surrounded by people who challenge us, though getting direct feedback through conversation is even better. I also like the idea that changing environments can help loosen the habitual thinking. But the one I didn't see coming was the bit about wearing the same clothes. I feel totally called out on this one. It's a nudge to experiment more with my daily costume to stave off the unconscious "I am" and "I'm not" ruts.
Leave it to a coach to invite commitment and clarity into the life of a waffler. I guess I have to clearly change my mind before I change my shirt. Ok. I'll have 3 new shirts and start wearing them by the end of March.

You leave it quite ambiguous if you mean you want to experiment with other types of 'I am/I'm not's' or actually finally change into a fresh shirt ;)
