Sure, you can break the cycle but first you must recognize it. Once you realize the thoughts that echo back and forth in your cranium are like clockwork, then you can begin to alter them gradually, and every day. It's a superficial concept that is effective if you're aware of your own negative thoughts.
Hmmm I think you misunderstand what I was saying. I was speaking more about my friends who watched this movie that tells them all the things Ive been telling them for years, then come to me preaching all the same things I tried to teach them as if they are THE guru of enlightenment, and I am their pupil.

If I had seen this video in middle school or the beginning of high school, before I had come to many of the same or similar conclusions presented in the movie, I would have felt just as enlightened. However when I watched it, I simply felt happy that somebody else was getting these points across.
