What Keeps You Stuck & Continually Repeating Old Habits? Do you remember the old say, “Pete and Repeat were sittin on a fence, Pete fell off, who’s left?” There is such Truth in this saying and represents how you can remain stuck by repeating these old, out-dated patterns. But, how do these patterns get created in the first place? Patterns come from a variety of beliefs that were created when you were young. These beliefs can come from your parents, grandparents, caregivers, clergy, teachers, peers, etc. Patterns, then are created by a belief becoming concretized by the power of repetition. Each and every time you proceed on auto-pilot, it only reinforces this pattern. Awareness is key! As you begin becoming conscious to your thoughts and your behaviors, you soon become quick to recognize a repeat. What do you do once you locate a repeat? You follow the trail. To follow the trail of a repeat you will want to silence the chatter of the ego mind. You can recognize this ego mind but the self-conversation you have. How many times have you had a brilliant idea, you were all set to go, you were excited, motivated and you knew that nothing or no one could stop you. The next thing you know you’ve talked your Self right out doing it, or buying it and from having it. All that negative chatter from the ego mind continues saying things like, “What makes you think you could do that?” “Are you crazy? You can’t do that?” “other people do this, not you?” or any other negative self-chatter. These are the voices of your own repeats. These are the voices of these old patterns who reared their heads and because we are creatures of habit, good or bad, you allowed your ego chatter to once again rob you from reaching your dreams, achieving your desires and becoming all that you know you are capable of! Now is the time to not only silence the ego mind, but to release patterns once and for all. One of the most effective methods to release these patterns is through meditation. Many times you can release a pattern by uncovering the belief which was responsible for creating it in the first place. Other times may be more of a challenge and may require one who is trained to assist you.
