BREAKING THE PATTERN
When I awoke this morning, I noticed our power was out. I started thinking about the phone calls I had to make, email that had to be checked. How dependent I’ve become. I found an old phone that didn’t need power and found a candle. Then I went downstairs and did some yoga and felt in a centered place. By the time I was done with my practice, the power came back on….but it’s still raining pretty good. Unusual for this time of year.
We are such creatures of habit. A few times a year I like to break my patterns so I cleanse using Stanley Burroughs master cleanse. I alway after a few days feel fabulous. I just ended it yesterday and am easing back to my normal diet.
What can you do to break your normal habits and patterns? Try something new in the morning. Perhaps brushing your teeth with your other hand. Don’t listen to the news or read the paper for the day. Don’t turn on your computer. Try taking a different route to work…letting the phone ring and not answering it…doing something special for someone..using different words and seeing how it feels…make this day dedicated to breaking your pattern. How about this one? Do not use the phone for the entire day.
