HOW TO BREAK OLD PATTERNS

How To Break Your Old Patterns

As children,we were easily exposed to the outer world with all its generational beliefs,societal behaviors and mistaken truths,which were passed to us unconsciously .as a result,we grow up adopting false thinking patterns that weren't ours on the first place,until we reach certain awareness that allows us to seek inner truth and break these cycles .

So here are few ways to help you break old thoughts and behavioral patterns:

1-Get closer to yourself

the only way to get to know yourself better and create a strong bond is spending time alone by yourself,this will allow you clear your mind from the world's distractions and reach a mutual deep understanding that leads to the discovery of your own truth.

2-Curiosity/honesty

be ready to start questioning your own ideas,thoughts and behaviors especially the ones that feel triggering or uncomfortable .and be honest with whatever answers you get even if it feels chaotic and disturbing,that's just your mind's confused with the process.the more you're able to seek inner truth, the faster you're finding your own identity.

3-Objective thinking

remove and unlink your own memories and emotions from the thoughts or situations you are questioning,by doing this,you are separating your own perspective and position about the situation ,from its true image.this process will provide you with better understanding quality to generate logical answers rather than biased ones.

4-Stop seeking pleasure

stop seeking pleasure when looking for deep answers inside you. only the right questions will make you stressed and anxious,however, avoiding doubting and asking about certain things to keep the peace will only provide you with short-term pleasure ,which will keep you running in the same old patterns .

5-Acknowledge your past

when our inner self is deeply wounded due to past-trauma,it impacts our way of thinking and behaving. as we grow up lacking awareness of these trauma responses which were "coping mechanisms" adopted to protect our minds from past-trauma damage.until we choose to break the repeated cycle by acknowledging the behaviors which are "linked" to certain traumatic events or situations.

6-Deal not escape

these patters aren't part of who you are,these are just a set of beliefs you picked up along the way growing up.the comfortability and familiarity with these patterns will trick you into believing they are part of your true personality and character.

Conclusion

breaking your old thinking and behavioral patterns is a process that requires patience,consistency and lot of efforts especially for people who suffered from past-traumatic experiences.however,it is one of the greatest steps you can take towards unleashing your true potential and discovering who you are.
