What you repeatedly accept can become what your mind learns to expect.
When the same behaviors and experiences happen repeatedly, they can begin to feel familiar. Over time, familiar can start feeling normal, even when the pattern is no longer serving you.
Recognizing the pattern gives you an opportunity to change it.
Change the pattern.
Change the expectation.
Change what feels normal.

The Human Recoding Theory™

Saying “I’m changing” is only the beginning.
Real change happens when you make different choices and repeat those choices long enough for them to become part of how you live.
The old pattern was learned through repetition. A new pattern can also be strengthened through repetition.
You do not become a different person simply by saying, “I’m changing.”
You become different when your new choices are repeated long enough to become your new normal.
