'If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always got'
If everything you have been doing isn't getting you what you want, then why are you still doing it that way?
If George Costanza (Seinfeld reference for the unfamiliar) taught us nothing else, it was that doing the opposite to everything he had always done got him different, and in his case better, results.
If you keep doing the same thing in your relationships, in your career, with your health, you will keep getting the same results. Which is fine if you are happy with those results, but what if you aren't?
If what you are doing isn't working, do you ever stop and ask why? Or do you continue on the same path hoping for a different outcome?
Are you wanting to create new results in your life? Are you wanting less stress about going around in circles?
Sometimes we keep following the same path and patterns because of old beliefs or it may even be that we form a habit around certain things and don't realise those habits are creating our outcomes.
Stepping outside of your usual patterns and leaning into something different can create a fear response, but that might be because it just feels unnatural, it doesn't mean it is wrong. It is important in those moments to push past that fear and step into the unknown to create something unknown.
Taking the same path will get you to the same location. Sometimes those pathways are inside our mind. It isn't always external patterns that are getting us the same results. Sometimes we play out the same scenario in our mind repeatedly and wonder why we get the same results.
In order for something to become materialised it first must begin as a thought. So if your thoughts are focused on the things you don't want, or the belief that only a certain outcome is possible, that is what you will get.
Meditation is a great method to understand the patterns we have created both externally and in our mind. Sitting with a situation, looking inward, and exploring it can give you an idea of whether that pattern is serving you or not. You can peel back the layers of a situation from a calm state not a fear state and assess whether the current way you are approaching something is actually helping or hindering you from achieving what you want to achieve.
You can break old patterns and create new thoughts and beliefs from a meditative state. You can start to create something new from a calm and creative state, not a fearful state.
You have nothing to lose. If what you are doing isn't working, then why not try something new? Changing the way you think, act, and approach things could give you the exact results you want.
