Pay Attention to Patterns

Let’s delve into 6 common pattern paradigms, each revealing its own tapestry of insights and revelations; hidden threads that shape our understanding of the world.

1) Distorted Sense of Self: 

“Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who’s the Confused One of Them All?” 

Ever felt like you’re wearing X-ray glasses that only show your flaws? Welcome to the distorted sense of self pattern! It’s when you can’t accept the fabulousness that everyone else sees in you. Compliments? Nah, just a sprinkle of awkwardness. Success? Well, you’re too busy feeling inadequate to enjoy it fully. Let’s face it; you’re your own worst critic and the lead actor in the drama of “I’m Not Enough!”

2) Lack of Self-Worth: 

“Oops, I Did It Again (and Again and Again)!”

Picture this: You’re pricing your products as if you’re selling dollar-store knockoffs instead of the premium goods you offer. Why? Because deep down, you doubt your own worth. It’s like you’ve been bitten by the undercharging bug, and you just can’t shake it off. You’re spending more time explaining things than a NASA engineer explaining rocket science to their grandma. It’s time to hit the stage with confidence and value yourself like the rockstar you truly are. 

3) People Pleasing: 

“The Great Balancing Act of Yes and No!” 

Cue the applause for the masters of people-pleasing! You can charm your way through any social gathering, but secretly, it’s exhausting. You’re a ninja at saying yes when you mean no, and your ability to put others’ needs before your own is remarkable. However, let’s not forget that you’re starring in the “Rescuer, Victim, and Persecutor” show, and it’s time to step out of the triangle and start saving the day for yourself!

 4) Lack of Boundaries:

 “NO is Your Superpower!” 

Imagine having a superhero cape that reads, “I’m open 24/7, come on in!” Well, that’s what a lack of boundaries feels like. You become a human doormat, constantly letting people walk all over you. It’s time to don your superhero cape with a bold “no” emblazoned on it because “no” is your new favorite word. Establish those boundaries and protect your precious time and energy like the superhero you are!

5) Withholding/Holding Yourself Back:

“Self Sabotage Shuffle”

Lights, camera, action! Oh wait, hold on, we need another take because you’re stuck in the withholding pattern. Your fear of imperfection has turned you into a master of holding yourself back. The fear of not getting it right keeps you from expressing your brilliance, and your inner critic is the overzealous editor slashing away at your potential greatness. 

You know that dance move where you take one step forward and two steps back? Well, that’s the self-sabotage shuffle, and it’s time to change the tune! Holding yourself back is like being your own arch-nemesis, sabotaging your progress at every turn. Take a leap of faith, break out of your self-imposed chains, and dance to a new beat—the beat of your potential! 

6) Resistance: 

“Change, Schmange! I Know What’s Best!” 

You’re the boss, the captain of the ship, and change is just not your thing. Your resistance to new ideas or fresh approaches is like a wall between you and growth. You’re convinced you know what’s best, and no one can convince you otherwise. 

We all know that change can be scary. It’s like being thrown into an epic kung fu battle, dodging punches left and right. But here’s the thing: you’re the martial arts master of your own destiny. Embrace change as your training ground, kick those resistance demons to the curb, and unleash your master moves. The only way to level up is to face the challenges head-on and emerge victorious!
