The problem with habitual patterns

Maybe you eat the same thing at your favorite restaurant every time you visit.

Maybe you go to the same fitness class every week.

Maybe you follow the same agenda for each staff meeting.

Habitual patterns are central to our lives. Even the ways we move our bodies are formed by unconscious habitual patterns we build up over time.

But when does habitual pattern cross over from helpful to hindering?

When does our stalwart choice become stale?

When can a change of process shake up our point of view? Help us break through a barrier?

Today, make a different choice. Go home a different way. Have a different person lead the meeting. Pick up the phone instead of email.

See what happens when you make a different choice. You might find your new favorite thing.
