So let’s understand a pattern
as participating in the same behavior again and again.
It’s often, automatic, unconscious participation.

We draw the same scenarios to ourselves,
the same energy.

All becomes familiar.

We know our lines, other people’s lines, and the props.

That’s the outer world.

Here’s an example of what can be happening in the inner world.

Patterns that harm me.
Patterns that close my heart.
Patterns that isolate me.

I am stuck in patterns.
Limiting, devastating, frustrating.

I lose my freedom.
My choices are gone.

I seem to be preprogrammed
that when a certain emotion
or circumstance is triggered,
I go on automatic pilot.

I become a robot

I have the same reactions,
causing the same responses,
causing the same misery.

Over and over again.

There is no living in the moment for me.

I carry the past and it controls my future.

I am stuck in patterns.
