WORKSHEET
In the conversation Cosmos has with the reader, he points out that not obeying rules is frequently the result of Stinky Thinking. In the example used, this stinky thinking has to do with needing to be noticed and admired.
Cosmos points out, in the being quiet rule example, how we become angry (Not OK emotion in this situation) when we have consequences for breaking the rule. He explains that in the animal world they don’t have much Stinky Thinking when it comes to rules.
In the question section of this worksheet, the consequences of breaking the rules in the animal world are obvious. In our human world, consequences of being a rule breaker may not be as immediate or as severe. But ultimately, the habitual rule breaker will suffer the serious consequences of their actions.
