Congratulations. I'm going to be taking a break soon to look at exactly this question. I've had some clues in my responses to current situations indicating I need a little shift. I want to take some time to think this over. Your questions are an excellent tool in this regard. Hi Jonathan,

It seems so easy to be objective when we analyze what others are doing while missing (or choosing not to see) our own programed response patterns. :) What an excellent personal observation Galen.

There seems to be a tendency to keep doing things the way we have always done them, even when they quit working or cause unwanted side effects. Currently I am doing super slow reps in the gym to minimize repetitive joint movements and maximize muscle tension. It's not my favorite approach, but high reps can cause wear and tear on the joints if continued for too long. Hi Nancy, it is amazing how adaptive we are mentally, emotionally, and physically.

As I was pointing out this pattern to her for the gazillionth time, guess what. I saw MYSELF repeating the pattern of how I responded to her pattern! Who was insane now? Ha! Great post. Thanks!

Changing our perspective, our attitudes can also change the outcome of our choices and decisions. I'm going to try more reps and less weight. I love when chance encounters happen when you are willing to change the way you look at things. In gratitude, Nancy Wonderful post Jonathan and very insightful!
