I had a Camry for over 12 years and I loved that car! After several years the lock on the driver’s door just quit working. When I discovered it would be a couple of hundred dollars to repair it I decided I would just always unlock it from the passenger’s side. I figured it was no big deal, and in the process I would get a few more steps in my life as I had to walk around the car every time I unlocked it!
When I went to visit my mother in southern Indiana, we took a friend for a ride to Nashville, Indiana. Nashville is a fun little artsy place and it was always special to go visit there. Brown County, where it is located is known for the beautiful colorful leaves in the fall. Since it was October, the little town was packed with visitors, so I let my mother and friend out of the car and was actually able to find a parking place! I had driven my mother’s car, as she liked to have her car get out on the highway once in awhile!
When we were ready to go back to my mother’s home, I told them I would get the car and pick them up! I walked to the special parking, and went up to her car to get in it! Suddenly, I realized that I was unlocking it from the passenger’s side! I laughed and thought “Oh, my….how easy it is to get in a pattern!” Obviously, this was not anything too major, but I realized how easy it is to get in a pattern and do things over and over again! Sometimes our patterns do not matter so much, but at other times it is easy to get into patterns that can be harmful to us. It’s important to be aware of this, and stop from time to time to review your actions!
