Insane In The Membrane

“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”
― Albert Einstein

We all find ourselves repeating many of our old mistakes and wonder why? We repeat average things every day like eating, going to work and sleeping to name a few, without a single thought. However;when it comes to making decisions that lead to mistakes, those choices tend to be bad, or embarrassing.  By repeating these acts would just create even more chaos. Which would lead to more negative results for all of us right?

However; when we keep repeating the same mistakes over, and over, and don’t understand why we are doing it. Why? Your choices over time have now become a behavior and are no longer simple choices anymore. Yet they have become behavioral patterns. The driving force behind much of the repetitious behavior is FEAR! The only way to control fear is to conquer and destroy what underlies and motivates the fear.

This often is the stage where people feel most compelled, frozen and unwilling to change. The initial act of overcoming the fear ignites an anxiety so overwhelming it creates an atmosphere in the mind where we sink further into retreat. In that sense of retreat from their “will-power” to change course, the fear becomes in control and holds them prisoner. Fear is a real prison for the mind. 

Breaking out of this prison starts with some common sense solutions. Clear your mind and open your eyes and began to think long and hard. You must then identify your fears. Be honest with yourself when deciding your fears. Once your fears are identified, forgive yourself for yourself for any fears. Understand you need these acts in life to learn for experience needed in the future. It was never about good or bad yet a lesson worth being lived. As a result you gained from what you may have lost in the mental prison of fear. Your mind is now chiseled tool. In this new capacity you are able not to repeat the patterns as before.  You replaced fear with confidence and as a sense your reality has been altered. A new life based on your choices. Good or bad it will be an experience. Will it be worth repeating is up to you.
