I have had a change of heart and yet, somehow, NOT a change of direction….
For the past month, I have been organizing my thoughts, analyzing patterns, defining the details and creating worksheets to help explain exactly what I mean by a Pattern Interrupt. But, I constantly felt conflicted about sharing this information. Not because I didn’t want to help people make meaningful, lasting change but because I was afraid it wouldn’t work for anybody but me.
I’ve combed through my history many times (and the 20 or so journals that catalog it from as far back as grade school) and I can follow each pattern interrupt through to its successful change. But what I can’t find was a change that originated from a conscious pattern interrupt. Meaning, I’ve never been conscious of the entire change process until the change was over. I’ve never done it 100% deliberately.
And that, my friends, is a big freaking hole. It’s a hole I don’t want to inadvertently walk anyone else into. It’s a hole that some well-meaning bloggers use to “sell” happiness (something I’m not trying to do here). It’s a hole I have to fill before I help people through a meaningful & lasting change using the pattern interrupt process.
In the meantime, I’ve had multiple subscribers ask me for more information. They want to use this process. They want to start making changes now. And I want to keep my promises.
Keeping my promises means sharing everything I can about making successful changes.
Keeping my promises means not adding to the infoporn or useless filler on the web.
Keeping my promises means writing from an authentic and heartfelt place every time.
My plan had been to just describe the pattern interrupt change process over the next few posts, however instead I’m going to show it to you. I’m going to put my life and a VERY big change that I want to make on display. Right Here. I’m going to use the pattern interrupt process and explain to you exactly what I’m doing, exactly how I’m doing it, and exactly what I’m feeling. In the meantime, I’ll be creating a detailed ebook to share with all my readers about how they can create their own pattern interrupt.
The scary thing for me is that I’ve never followed the change in real time from start to finish before. I’ve initiated the change and then let the laws of physics & math take their course. Or, I’ve realized that I’ve been in a pattern interrupt and had to stretch a little to get to the other side. But, at some point, the new pattern always becomes automatic (that’s part of the beauty of it). However, not this time. This time, the process will be conscious from beginning to end and possibly a little bit raw (although not undigested).
In my next post, I’ll explain my big change goals, how I consciously defined and prepared them, and how you can do the same for a powerful pattern interrupt. I hope you’ll stick with me.
What do you think about my dedication to show & tell? What other ways have you tried to make lasting change that worked or didn’t work? Share your ideas in the comment section! |
