WTF is Pattern Interruption?
To answer this, you first need to know that “stuck” isn’t the actual problem here. We’re clear on that, right? The problem is the pattern that keeps bringing you back there.
Your brain LOVES a familiar response. The more often it connects a certain feeling or experience with the same response, the more automatic that response becomes. Do it enough times and eventually you’re not consciously choosing it anymore. It’s just what you do.
Just like driving to your kid’s school on auto-pilot or surprisingly finding yourself in the drive-thru you frequent even though you hadn’t planned it.
Maybe you consciously think, “I want to sit down and get this done.” But the second you feel uncertain, uncomfortable, overwhelmed or exposed, your well-practiced pattern takes over. Don’t worry, we’ll identify exactly what that is with this quiz.
Every time you complete the loop, you reinforce the pattern.
