It can be tough to steer you way out of the deeper patterns and grooves that we get locked into.

They’re well worn by time and repetition and though we can feel ourselves bump into the edges at times there’s a sense of tracking and familiarity there. The word groove can be positive or negative. I don’t think we have to blow that up necessarily- but I do think it’s worth it to ask if they’re really serving us. Are we seeing the ocean from a distance when we could be playing in the waves? Listening to the same song over and over? Are we settling for something that’s not really (or is no longer) satisfying?

I’m not suggesting that we need peak experiences 24-7. That would be exhausting and maintaining it would be a nightmare! But do you have the courage to ask the question?
