Acquiring new information is important, but reflecting on stuff you unconsciously do is just as important.
Patterns that are keeping you stuck in relationships, your career, your mental health, your physical health, and so much more are often from patterned ways of interacting with the world as a small child.
These patterns really show up in relationships - sometimes an intimate relationship is the first place you start to notice your way of responding to the world is not the only way of responding to the world.
If you keep "learning" new stuff and end up back in the same place it means you haven't spent enough time to figure out what you have to untangle in your subconscious mind.
You can "learn" how to communicate effectively, but if you are not aware of whatever it is that taught you to communicate ineffectively, you'll end up in the same spot when the going gets tough.
You can "learn" how to have a healthy diet. But if you aren't aware of why you make unhealthy choices? You're going to keep coming up with the same obstacles again and again.
Unlearning the unhealthy ways you've been programmed to respond to the world is necessary for growth and change.
It takes some effort because your responses are almost automatic but it's so worth it!
What patterns in your life do you recognize you were "programmed" into you?
