Daily Writing Made Me Aware of My Hidden Pattern.

I would follow this routine daily- the commitment we make to ourselves always. But are we the ones who actually follow it? Some do, but most don’t. The simple reason for not following it is excuses. There are certain patterns fixed in our brain. The brain doesn’t want to follow a new pattern; that’s why it gives excuses. Excuses like “I’ll do it from the next day” or “I’ll do it later.” This results in the failure of our commitments. These are things I had also faced previously. Consistent writing helped me in letting go of all the excuses of the brain.

Our daily habits are the things which become patterns for our brain. We follow those patterns without any problem. Our brain doesn’t allow any other pattern to be followed by us. But I would say it’s not impossible to save a new pattern in our brain. If we do certain activities by opposing our mind continuously for some days, our brain will adopt that system automatically after a few weeks or months. But the important part is to continue the activity regularly without any excuses.

The same I followed to be aware of my patterns and break the old ones. As I said earlier, daily writing is helping me a lot. The help it did was to track my patterns. Earlier, I was following non-productive patterns but thought they were the best. But as I said, leaving the comfort zone is something which helps us grow. I tracked those patterns and committed to making new ones that would be productive for me. I gave the foundation to this pattern on the first day I wrote the blog.

The first two or three days were completed with ease, but the difficulties started to come from the fourth and fifth days. My brain was making excuses for me. The reason, as I mentioned, is that it opposes following a new pattern. But I was determined to write consistently. The more the brain opposed, the more I used to sit for writing. Slowly, my brain is now adopting it as a new pattern to follow daily- the one which I think is the most productive.

Now, whenever I want to change some habits that are non-productive for me, I rebel against my brain. That has all been possible because of daily writing. It makes unhealthy patterns visible to me. It makes me aware to follow the healthy ones. Excuses will be given by our mind, but the more you avoid them, the closer you will be to creating new patterns to achieve your goal.
