132. How Can We Break Old Patterns And Habits That No Longer Serve Us?

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, Katya came forward with a deeply relatable question: How Can We Break Old Patterns And Habits That No Longer Serve Us? Katya is self-aware enough to notice the moment when she could choose recovery, but often still opts for old patterns. This honesty is powerful as it highlights the universal human struggle: knowing what’s good for us, yet resisting it. For those in recovery, that challenge is magnified by the belief that consistency isn’t possible. We need to put our full hearts into simple, daily practices, just as addicts once put their full creativity into finding their drug of choice. Fluctuation between old and new is natural; new consciousness doesn’t “stick” immediately. The key is to return to the higher state again and again, more often than you return to the old one. Surrounding yourself with teachers, community, and environments that reinforce recovery is essential because consciousness is contagious. Ultimately, the way forward is simple but not easy: practice with your whole heart, release attachment to outcomes, and stay close to community. This is how resistance softens, self-doubt diminishes, and new patterns crystallize into lasting freedom and joy.
