Interrupt the Pattern


Do you have a habit of engaging with the wrong people, making the same mistake over and over or pursuing limiting opportunities? If you want different results, it’s likely that you’ll need to interrupt the pattern of thinking and behaviors. Here are 4 ways to gain control:

  1. When things go bad don’t go with them: Maintain a healthy mindset. It’s difficult to make the best decisions when your mind is cluttered.
  1. Don’t spend major time on minor issues: Know what’s important and what needs your attention. Address only the things that will lead you closest to your goals. All else is a distraction.
  1. Turn your wounds into wisdom: Learn from your mistakes and poor choices. When faced with a similar situation you’ll be better prepared to manage it and stay on track.
  1. Pause in the pursuit: Too often we get caught up in the fight and don’t understand the purpose. Reflect on how things manifested and realize when it’s time to let go so you can grow. Refocus and keep moving forward!

Change isn't always comfortable but it's necessary to achieve the success you desire. If you always do what you've always done, you’ll always get what you've always got. Sometimes the simplest adjustments can make a big difference. Create new patterns of thought and behavior to reach your maximum potential.
