Patterns, Programs And Puppets

Programming can also be described as the making or breaking of a habit.

In addition to activity, behavior can be memorized and programmed as well. Although my mind can learn how to type, or dance, it can also learn self-sabotage, defensiveness, and fear.

One of the first things a hungry baby learns is that crying gets them fed. While some learned behavior perpetuates survival, if not updated, some learned behavior can get you thrown out of a restaurant!

Stepping Up For Myself

Cut The Strings

Memorized behavior is a byproduct of living life submersed in thought. Updating, or deleting unnecessary memorized behavior, must begin with this one step, this one habit, this one practice.

Each time I notice thought firing a learned pattern or program, and I just watch and feel what it feels like, I am weakening that program. Every time I notice myself falling back into learned, repetitious behavior, I’m kicking a dent in that program. Eventually the program will be weakened to the point that I can easily step out of it, or it just doesn’t fire anymore, and I’m free.

Are you REACTING to life from memorized behavior, or are you authentically RESPONDING to life outside of old, erroneous patterns and programs?

Empowerment:

I can’t put out a fire if I don’t know where it is. Today I will notice my thoughts.
