The familiarity concept

The familiarity concept

What is the name of that law that states that you become whatever you’re familiar with? If can’t be karma, what then can we call it?

Let me tell you quickly a personal story to buttress my point:

Being a student who after a whole lot of starving, using garri for varieties and other student food, now going home knowing the kind of delicacy you’d eat, can be a great joy to students- especially someone like me who is a foodie. But then, there’s this challenge that always accompany my going home, it’s about how my mom complain about everything I do (I don’t tidy the house, I wake up late, I don’t help her, I’m eating all her food, I’m always on my phone etc) and most times I try to correct this, but she seems not to get satisfied, not for once. Over time I get frustrated and in no time, I’ll be tired of home- wanting to get back to school.

Now, getting back to school, I realized that I always do the same thing I disliked my mom doing to me. My roommate happens to be my cousin and this time in school, I’m always behaving like my mom- i tidy the room (what I normally don’t do at home) and I’ll always complain if my cousin scatters it again. Like I do exactly things my mom does to me that I don’t like.

Now, that’s my own story. I know many of us have that kind of story of things that we tend to do, what we said we aren’t going to do (or what we dislike people doing to us).

You hated how your dad beat your mom; you don't like how someone close to you is addicted to something; you are always sad about how poor your parents are, you can go on to name it- but in the long run, you find yourself doing the same thing you didn’t like. What could have caused that?

Shouldn’t your hatred towards that thing be enough for you not to do it? Or is it that you are destined to do it? Or are you thinking it’s a generational curse?

Let me call it “THE LAW OF FAMILIARITY”

Many of us don't know that, while we are used to seeing (or saying) something, it’s getting a permanent stay in our subconscious and what the subconscious do is to automatically give an output (a response) to an input (or similar to the input) that has been stored in it- it’s programmed.

Sometimes, you don’t know when you hiss, you just can't control what happened. Yes! It’s because of what has been stored in your subconscious.

 How then can we uninstall (unlearn) this sabotaging reality?

Consciously, intentionally, attentively start to reprogram this law. How? Whenever you want to start doing it, or you are already doing it, retrace your step or reach out to someone (someone that knows about it and is always ready to help) immediately. You won’t stop immediately and so you must be consistent until you can now stay free of it- when it has been deleted and replaced at the subconscious level.

Will you rather reprogram or let it continue to sabotage you?
