It has been shown that the neural pathways you utilize repeatedly are strengthened, and you are much more likely to use those same pathways again. In other words, we are likely to be stuck in ruts, by right of our very biology. A samskara is a pattern of thought and behavior in which we are stuck. In order to overcome habits we must be diligent and pay attention. As we notice those out-moded ways of thinking or being we can choose differently. It is difficult at first. But, it's a positive feedback loop. The more you choose thoughts and actions that lead you toward growth, the easier it'll be and the more likely you'll be to choose that way in the future.
In order to be the most authentic version of yourself, you must become aware and break free from your current programing.
