Break the Pattern!

by COSS Blog Contributor Joann Homen

Many of us have "Experiences & Stuff" that we keep reliving over and over again.

We are stuck in a perpetual loop pattern of stagnation, and unfortunately, we are more often than not miserable stuck in this loop and pattern.

We say we want to change but the truth is we are often quite content to stay put and to not change. Better the enemy that I know then the enemy I don’t, is the attitude we use to justify staying stationary.

This is usually because we are comfortable with the "Status Quo" because it is familiar to us. Our fear of the unknown and of changing and change itself, keeps us stuck in the loop and pattern of stagnation because we are afraid of the future and the uncertainly that comes with it.

Sometimes though we don't know how to get out of the loop we keep going around and around in. It can take great courage to break free of the loop or pattern we find ourselves in, and yet this is what we have to do to move forward towards a more positive life.

Remember, Rome wasn't built over night, nor are you expected to upend everything you currently know just to break free of the loop and patterns you find yourself stuck in.

One baby step at a time will suffice, as long as you slowly but constantly move forward with the intention of breaking free of patterns that no longer serve and growth, you will get there. So, put one foot in front of the other and make it happen!

Only YOU can break the patterns of stagnation and propel yourself towards happiness and growth. So take that first step and watch the magic begin!
