  • There are things, and specific patterns in your life that you know are not healthy or do not work for you. Figure out what they are, shift the focus of the problem to try the opposite, and break that pattern.

  • When we follow a pattern, it becomes our comfort zone, and later we might feel like we’re stuck in life. So why not break this pattern if it doesn’t work? Get out of your comfort zone.

  • If your instincts are wrong, probably the opposite is true. So, explore the opposite and discard what doesn’t work.
