Living Your Namaste Lifestyle

“Pattern repeating is trying to resolve the pattern you are repeating.”

This quote I heard on Oprah's podcast while stuck in the traffic of the usual LA morning resonated deeply with me.

It all comes down to childhood trauma/negative experiences.

Maybe your dad left you, which might have caused trust issues growing up and led you to attract partners who trigger you.

Perhaps you observed unhealthy relationships throughout your life, causing you to repeatedly attract toxic relationships. When you encounter someone who is genuinely nice, it might feel 'boring' to you.

Or maybe your mom criticized you constantly, influencing how you treat your partner.

Pattern repeating is an attempt to resolve the pattern you are repeating. The moment you recognize this is the moment you become aware.

When you are aware, patterns become a choice.

This could be a challenge for some, including myself in the past. I used to enjoy the chase with a girl and found someone who was genuinely nice to me 'boring.'

The key, I learned, is to truly understand, accept, and love myself. Understand why I am the way I am, accept the experiences I had during childhood, and make peace with them. Love myself by getting clear on what I want in a partnership, staying in integrity, and having standards.

When you are aware and working to dissolve your patterns, you will attract those who are also aware and interested in dissolving their own patterns.

Find someone who is curious about themselves.

If you haven't found one yet, keep looking with a fun, no-hurry attitude." 😉
