🔵 HAYBS | Pattern Series, 4

Best Self,

In the previous email, we began exploring how patterns express in our personal lives, using parents as a starting point. If you completed your next step, you have some reflections about this written in your journal.

In this email, we dive into a highly effective practice for identifying patterns in your life.

Daily Life Patterns

Look at your day...

From the moment you wake, to the moment you sleep, your day is full of patterns. If you have a morning routine, that is a pattern. If you commute to work and tend to take the same route every day, that is a pattern. If your job requires completing repetitive or similar tasks each day, that is a pattern. If you feel similarly about your day from one day to the next, that is a pattern.

In the first email of this Pattern Series, I told you that Everything is Pattern. I really mean it. Everything.

And not only is everything a pattern, also many "smaller" patterns combine to make "bigger" patterns. Take any or all of the examples I provided above, including any others you can think of that you experience personally:

All of those patterns combine to create the pattern of your day...

Many of your days combine to create a larger pattern of a week, a month, a year...

Many years combine to create the overall pattern of your entire life.

These patterns, although repetitive, are ever evolving. And although they evolve, they have consistent self-similarity. If you were to track them, you would be able to identify them more easily.

And this is exactly what you will begin doing in your next step.

Your Next Step

1. At the end of your day, set a timer for 20 minutes and reflect on your entire day, morning, midday, and night:

   • "What time of day was it..."

   • "And where was I..."

   • "When I did this..." (or)

   • "When this happened..."

   • "And now it reminds me of..."

2. Write about your reflections in your journal.

3. Make this a daily journal practice for the next 28 days (4 weeks).

I will mention again how very important and useful it is to keep a journal.
