Lather, rinse and repeat.

I remember reading a shampoo bottle once that had instructions to lather, rinse and repeat.  I remember thinking how dirty would your hair have to be if you had to wash it twice? 

I decided it was a good ploy on the part of the shampoo company to double the shampoo use per user and increase sales without having to increase the customer base.  What a marketing strategy.  How many times do we unnecessarily lather, rinse and repeat in our daily lives?  Are you stuck because you are repeating patterns?  When I feel like I am not moving forward, I look at any patterns I may have fallen back into.
