It's just too hard to break old teachings, to ignore old tapes, to unlearn things that seem to be forever stuck in my head.

I'm not sure if it is ever possible to get things out of our head, but it is possible to move to a place where we are more aware and less likely to be caught off-guard by our former programming.

I know this may sound strange, but what if you said 'thank you' to the patterns in your life. Acknowledge that they are there, and then ask gently let them know that you don't need those patterns anymore. Now, you are a different person, who would like to create room for rules of your own making.

I've found for myself, that if I try to fight something it just seems to grow in strength. If instead I accept it is there, and look for even a tiny nugget of a lesson, the power of the thought/rule/memory seems to just seep away.

Sending some strength and awareness your way!
