Getting Started

What do habits, 24 hours a day, and summertime all have in common?

They all happen again and again every so often. They’re all very different things, each doing something different, and still, they change in a similar way. Just like turning around in a circle, ending up where you started but maybe just a tiny bit different.

We can spot circles or loops like this all over the place. From the ways the Earth moves around the Sun, to the rhythm of your heartbeat. It doesn’t seem to matter what the thing is or how big or small, changes seem to happen in loops everywhere.

In the same way, there are other shapes and patterns to the ways things change. Like how dominoes fall the same way that avalanches do, or how hurricanes and seashells have the same spiral shape.

No matter where we look, the universe is full of commonalities across very different things.

This turns out to be very useful, for example, in predicting the weather or when the seasons will change. But it can also be very useful in other places, like with what humans do. After all, we are nature too! We’re mammals, remember? So just like the other parts of nature, we take part in patterns too. Like our habits, routines, and our inhales and exhales. Let’s face it, we’re a little bit predictable.

So what would happen if we take a step back and look at what patterns all of nature, including ourselves, seems to follow? We likely could better predict and prepare for life’s twists and turns.

That’s what the ∆ Frame is all about, teaching and equipping us to know what’s probably coming next, and that we can probably do something about it.
