To change patterns – figuratively and literally
To change a pattern, a behaviour or a habit is something many peole describes as one of the hardest things to do. To be creative and to think different is something many companies strive for, when developing new solutions for their customers. We know today that our brains like to do things over and over and that the connections get more solid the more often we do them. E.g. the more often you get angry, you learn the brain to be angry and the only way to outcompete the “angry connections”, is to create new connections which gradually will replace the old ones.
A good example of a pattern interruption and how to change patterns both literally and figuratively, and also something that tell us about our way of living is the phenomenon of “Reverse Graffiti”. In a lot of cities in the NA, SA and Europe people have made their reverse graffiti footprints.
