Jeopardy
It's tempting to think you can get to a magical state where you can put your feet up and you no longer need to do any work. When you think you've "arrived," you'll stop using The Tools. You'll also stop using them when when you fail or are demoralized. This Tool gives you the willpower to get yourself back in the game. To stick with your practice, use Jeopardy first.
Cues to Use the Tool
Use Jeopardy in any situation where you know you need to use a Tool but, for whatever reason, can't get yourself to use one.
When you feel you've grown beyond the need for Tools, use this one.
The Tool in Brief
1. Deathbed Scene
See yourself lying on your deathbed.
2. Scream at Yourself
Having run out of time, this older self screams at you not to waste the present moment.
3. Use Fear as a Motivator
Feel a deep, hidden fear that you've been squandering your life. This will create an urgent desire to use whichever Tool you need at that moment.
