Do you ever wonder why you keep repeating the same behavior over and over, even when you know it doesn’t work well or create the results you want?
If you think of your mind as having been installed with computer programming, instructions, the answer becomes clearer. Our “conscious” mind (for lack of a better descriptor) holds the instructions for all of the ways we want to be. It is rational and charts a course from where we are to where we want to be with clear logical steps that the best how-to writers in the world would sign off on. BUT, our actions are not always motivated by our “conscious” mind alone.
Sometimes, our undealt with past, things that caused us upset, loss, fear, anger, etc, come up and drag us into behavior that is, at times, in complete opposition to what we say we want. Usually this happens without us even being aware that our fears are diverting the course we charted.
If you have a particular pattern in your life that keeps getting replayed over and over, it might be time to ask if there is some faulty “computer programming” that is operating during critical moments. Sometimes, achieving certain results might threaten some of your thinking, or cause you to feel things that you do not want to feel.
It explains why a simple behavioral approach to unworkable patterns has limitations. If you don’t understand your "computer programming," no matter how many times you adjust your path to success, you will keep hitting a wall.
Sometimes things beyond our “conscious” minds can cause us to repeat what doesn’t work in our lives. Becoming aware of what lies beneath the surface can make a huge difference. When we know more, we can make better decisions. Our work for over 40 years has been helping people transcend or simply update the program generated by their “computer.”
To consciousness!
