“Our humanity rests upon a series of learned behaviors, woven together into patterns that are infinitely fragile and never directly inherited.” Margaret Mead
Continuing on with the theme of habits or predictable patterns what do you notice about your day that is totally a result of a pattern in your life?
Are there patterns in your life that are destructive?
For example are there things that just “set you” off, produce anger, irritation or high anxiety? Can someone say something to you that reminds you of something unpleasant and instead of ignoring it begin to churn inside even to the point of saying something regretful?
We all have patterns in our lives. Some patterns we should change for the betterment of self. What patterns do you think you should change?
Some steps to take to figure out what patterns are in your life.
1. Learn to observe yourself. What are you doing? Record it for a week or two.
2. Which patterns create abundance and flow and which ones end up being criticisms of something or someone?
3. Which patterns are predictable? Someone who knows you could say “You will do this when /if _______”
4. Have someone observe you. What do they see? Do you repeat time after time some phrase or action?
