Today’s mental detox revealed a powerful truth:
many of the patterns we repeat are not chosen because they’re right — they’re chosen because they’re familiar.
We explored how familiar patterns often disguise themselves as peace, maturity, or common sense, when in reality they are automatic responses learned in earlier seasons of survival. Whether in relationships, money habits, boundaries, or self-worth, familiarity can quietly keep us stuck while convincing us we’re being reasonable.
This session reminded us that discomfort is not a warning — it’s often a signal that growth is taking place. Breaking familiar patterns doesn’t require shame or force. It begins with awareness, compassion, and the courage to choose alignment over autopilot.
As we continue this Mental Detox, today’s work invites us to notice what we keep choosing out of habit — and to trust God enough to respond differently as we step into who we are becoming.
