A pattern interrupt is something that we consciously do when our body/mind signals us that we are heading in the direction of danger. It doesn’t know actual physical danger from a nasty look or word by someone that triggered us. At that point we have only seconds before we respond in a way we will then regret. We can interrupt our conditioning/pattern by thinking of a word or an acronym that immediately takes us out of the moment thus interrupting the pattern. This is how we delete old patterns that no longer serve us and create new ones that are more in line with who we are now and how we truly want to respond. Reptilian brain, hormones and chemicals will tell us we are in danger when we are not so we have to interrupt these patterns deliberately and it’s such a relief when we do!! Our bodies always let us know “it’s coming!”
