i'm begging you to fix your bad patterns (i'm guilty for this)
We’re all operated by patterns.
Some people are really fortunate enough to realize what their bad patterns are.
While the rest are just wasting their lives, not realizing that their patterns are controlling them.
Despite being a coach, I am still not a super-human. I have fallen for many bad patterns.
3 years ago, I joined the gym.
But I had realized that I had a pattern for skipping workouts and the gym.
And I had made so many compelling arguments in my brain as to why I don’t need to hit the gym.
I had thoughts like:
Why do people get fit for other people’s validation?
Why do some people just go to the gym to lift their egos?
Why do people even put themselves through intentional hardship?
Even though some of my thoughts were pretty valid…
But I had used them just as excuses to feel good for not going to the gym.
And surprisingly enough, my body confirmed that by doing something strange.
By making me sick.
Literally (i kid you not), I had gotten severe fever after hitting the gym for a few weeks.
And whenever I tried to go to the gym after recovering from the fever…I got sick again.
Now there are many factors as to why that happened (eg: lack of protein intake, too intensive workouts, less time for recovery or whatever)
But that’s besides the point.
My point is that patterns have an incredible grip on our lives.
And the bad patterns are the reasons why some people seem to be stuck in their lives forever.
In my case, I had believed gym = bad
And my brain said: “Roger that, sir. Shutting down body shortly.” And it did.
I know it sounds absurd now when I lay it out like that, but it’s so true.
I’ll leave you with one more example that I have caught from my own experience.
I know a guy who always does things twice.
Because he almost always messes up things the first time. And ends up doing them twice.
For instance, once he had to put up a new mirror in his bathroom.
And I saw him working really hard, drilling the wall, and putting up the mirror, only to realize…
that the mirror wasn’t aligned properly.
The place where he drilled could only hold the bottom side of the mirror.
Which meant that he had to go through the entire tedious process again.
So he measured the things again, drilled the wall again, and placed the mirror. Again.
And I usually say to him: “You always do things twice, have you noticed that?”
This is his pattern.
And the thing with patterns is that they control us in a sneaky way.
And the only way to fix patterns is to override them by becoming a rebel to them.
Whenever you get the voice telling you to follow your life-long pattern.
Look at it in the eyes and say: “Fr8ck you! I’m not listening to you!”
no but jokes aside…do this instead:
Tell yourself you’ll experiment doing the opposite for just a week. So there’s no pressure on you.
Because at the end of the day, it’s just an experiment.
And in any experiment, you can’t judge much in just a day or two.
You need at least a week to gather enough data, right?
This takes away so much of the pressure from you and adds a layer of fun & intrigue.
To see the results of the experiment.
And you actually get something done that you’ve been postponing for a long time.
Actionable items for you:
- Pick out something that you’ve been delaying for a long time, and experiment doing it for only a week.
Most people say habits stick in 21 days or a month, but let’s not bullshit ourselves.
I know from my past that I couldn’t stick to a habit for 2 days straight, let alone a month.
That’s why I’ve capped it to only a week.
- Write down your progress and your thoughts each day. Maybe make a post about it.
- And compare yourself at the end of the week.
Chances are you’ll gonna be really surprised with how much potential you always had in you.
I hope it helped.
Much love.
Rohan.
