Recognizing old patterns

We begin very early to develop habits that run counter to our natural energy, habits that are designed to help us survive in the neurotic world in which we find ourselves. We pick up these patterns from our families, friends, teachers, and the community in general. Eventually, we begin to see that these habits are no longer serving us. Through becoming aware of them, we take the first and most important step toward changing them.

It is safe for me to let go of old habits.
