Stop recycling yesterday!

Someone told me “well, Louis, my days are boring, it is always the same”. Yes, I understand there is a certain safety in recycling yesterday experiences. First you do not have to face your own issues and inner turmoil , this alone will convince many of living over again and again with yesterday. Yesterday is a safe known territory. If you find the courage to face your inner turmoil then each day will be new with unknowns. Who is afraid of the unknown ? Well many people. You know when you go to sleep you do not know what will be made tomorrow yet you go to sleep without much terror.

In fact , the fear of the unknown is really a lack of self-confidence in one ability to face challenges. There is little growth in maintaining yesterday experiences in today.
The greatest barrier of human growth is fear. Let say that for one reason or another you are terrorized to re-produce mistakes you made in the past this cause you to avoid any type of risk and challenges, you play it safe.

If you are in that situation in one or several areas of your life, you can choose to accept your condition for what it is, explore your belief system and understand the nature of your condition. You have to realize that challenges and risks are not to be feared , you are not prisoner of your past or some malicious force. If you take the time to observe the unfolding of your day without judgement but just for learning from the observation you will not say your days are the same, everyday will be different, the sameness of the day come from of clothing what you perceive with your yesterday judgement.
As I said if no judgement is placed you allow yourself to perceive with new unbiased eyes. When you wake up in the morning tell yourself that you accept yourself and all the experiences you will encounter. Take a new street, eat a new food, watch a different program, try something new and have fun.
