If you find yourself making the above statements, you are generally rationalizing that you no longer need to learn to experience life differently. A sort of comfort within yourself to just leave well enough alone.

We needn’t change everything, but remain open to evaluate the patterns and routines that we sustain before they would come to be harmful to yourself and others. Because we are used to it doesn’t make it the best way.

Ask yourself again why you do those things that you most routinely do.
