Notes

Short practical notes for ordinary behavior loops.

Read simple, non-clinical notes about noticing a loop, testing a small redesign, and pausing before an automatic yes.

Behavior loops

What is a behavior loop?

A behavior loop is a repeated pattern with a trigger, a short-term relief, and a cost that shows up later.

Self-sabotage

Instead of trying to fix everything, choose one moment in the loop and make the next step easier to do well.

People-pleasing

The first reset is often not a perfect no. It is the pause that lets your real answer catch up.
