You reach a stage in your career, or life, you can’t stop seeing patterns. So, you make a conscious decision to filter which patterns to allow your brain to see, this way you make tangible progress in a world you wish to create, while living.
You arrive at this pattern sense making by intently listening to anything and everything, continuously washed over when you focus that listening to less and less things, deeply.
Flow builds up from these moments of movement through society, with tensions of withdrawing. When the right strings are hit, a frequency between your movement and withdraw creates flow, playing a balancing act between one and another, seamlessly seeing patterns everywhere.
From there, you filter. In the friction. Seeking to be washed, deeply.
The becoming of makers.

the eb & flow of creating is rough - always sticking with it though, not many do
You must balance two things: nobody should be harder on you than you, nobody should be more supportive of you than you. Your inner voice can have high expectations while still being kind. I realized one day that there was no way for me to believe anyone else was speaking to me kindly if the inner monologue was a complete trash fire. The reality we make begins with that internal dialogue
Do you journal about it?
do I? Its the only way I surivive.
I feel you 😌 Have you tried identifying patterns in the times you’ve been harder on yourself? Or heard of Metacognition? https://nesslabs.com/metacognition
There’s a way to move through the world in which the societal patterns move through you, not at you, or around you.

Reminds me of the conscious leadership paradigm of surrender consciousness or “through me” consciousness: https://conscious.is/blogs/going-deeper-with-the-15-commitments-4-ways-of-being-with-new-years-resolutions
thank you for this.

Filtering patterns consciously and unconsciously can be a real chore 🫠
only a chore if one think they are esoteric happenstance of events. when in truth, they are a Merkel tree of events that one serendipitously flows with. Swinging from one tree to the next as the pattern appears in the right time and space. It definitely takes time to accept this, acceptance is the only chore.
