Unwiring Old Patterns

Intro

Our ancient brains are designed to save energy in order to keep us alive and run most of its operations automatically.

Only in the last few decades did scientists discover that the pathways in our brain can be changed with practice.

So, the question becomes which pathways or patterns do we want to keep and which ones are we ready to let go of?

In this tool, you will learn how to let go of one old pattern to step into the next version of you.

Instructions

1. What is one behavior you’re ready to stop or reduce, and why?Be honest with yourself on any behaviors you’re ready to let go of, such as doom scrolling at night. Why stop now?
2. What are all the potential triggers for this behavior?Reflect on the situation you’re often in, nature of your thoughts, or feelings in your body that lead to this behavior.
3. What happens if you continue on with this behavior?Take a moment to be radically honest with yourself and reflect on all the consequences if you continue.
4. What are small adjustments you can commit to?When triggers come up, what can you choose instead? For example, 3 deep breaths before snacking or placing a book over your phone at night.
