If you've always said yes, try saying no; and if you would normally say no to a new experience, try saying yes.
If you’ve always been a planner, try spontaneity; and if you’ve always been going with the flow, try structure.
If your job is to come up with creative ideas, try taking a basic coding online class; and if analyzing numbers is what you do, try styling.
If you’re usually a talker, try active listening to see others' points of view; and if you’re usually a quiet person, try speaking up your mind.
If you identify yourself as a socializer, try solitude; and if you identify yourself as a loner, try reaching out to someone you trust… or someone new.
If you tend to be tough on yourself, try letting go of past mistakes; and if you tend to be easy-going with yourself, try discipline.
You gotta break the patterns
to rejuvenate yourself,
to advance adaptability,
to see if there may be a better path you can take and what else you can be.
You gotta break the patterns
for life is not predetermined for you but by you.
