Bustin' Out (Breaking Cycles)

There are many different key ingredients to life but a mixture of the right ones creates different results. Let me share with you a key ingredient that will help you BUST OUT of that cycle!

Awareness

Awareness is acknowledging that you are in a cycle, whether it be something individual or generational. It is finding the starting point, answering the question - “When did this start?”

To answer this question you need to figure out if is this a generational cycle or an individual cycle.

Generational Cycles: Destructive patterns throughout your family bloodline ( alcoholism, abuse, laziness, poverty, procrastination, overeating, etc.) Bad habits, and poor mindsets that have been passed down. These can also be demonically enticed.

Individual Cycles: Not widely recognized in the bloodline, things you may have picked up from influences, trauma, and other desires you have. (the same examples stand in this too)

Note: if you can determine the starting point you can plan how to stop the cycle.

People who are in cycles usually…

Repeat the same results (stuck & Stagnant).
Always find themselves “in this same space”.
Feels like they are always losing something.

Being Self-Aware Brings Up 2 Things

Frustration

You are probably thinking, what would I be frustrated about?!

Check this out; the Bible says for in much wisdom is much grief, And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow (Ecclesiastes 1:18 KJV). You may find yourself frustrated with yourself for not getting yourself out sooner. You may also get frustrated with people.

My story: I noticed a lot of cycles of addictive relationships people in my family have made with drugs and alcohol. This is something I also adapted but once I gave my life to God I put down things that were destroying me. And as I grew I became frustrated with my family because they wanted to keep smoking and drinking not caring what it was doing to them.

You may experience this too**

2. A place of decision-making.

Now that you are aware... what are you going to do about it? Are you gonna keep going with it, or change your trajectory?!
