Break the Pattern
When a song is on a loop, it doesn’t stop replaying until you take an action to stop it.
Your brain and the thoughts that come out of it are similar. Ramin Nazer has this quote that will stop you in your tracks: “You must break the pattern today or the loop will repeat tomorrow.” Think of it this way.
If you speak negatively to yourself today, it will repeat itself tomorrow.
If you believe you're unlucky, it will repeat itself tomorrow.
If you believe you're not good enough, it will repeat itself tomorrow.
It’s possible you speak negatively, are unlucky, or aren’t good enough, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. You must break the pattern if you want it to change.
Changing requires desire. Breaking a pattern requires intentional action. Today is your day to decide.
History has a way of repeating itself, but not you and not today.
You must break the pattern today or the loop will repeat tomorrow
P.S. I have special guest hosts of the Optimistic Outlook Podcast for the next two days! Check out my 10-year-old daughter Lucy, who is growing her communication skills and confidence. If you reply to this email with how she did, I promise to pass it along (because there is no chance she is getting a phone anytime soon)
