Interrupt the Pattern [Week 3] - New Pattern New Programming

Ever catch yourself mid-pattern thinking, “Ugh, why do I always do this?” That’s your brain running old code, and this week, we’re learning how to rewrite it.

In this powerful third episode of the Interrupt the Pattern mini-series, we go beyond awareness and into real-time action. Because naming your loop is step one, but step two? That’s where the transformation begins.

Why Your Brain Resists Change

Spoiler alert: Your brain loves routine. It’s built for efficiency, not growth. So when you try to do something new, even something better, it resists. That doesn’t mean you’re lazy, unmotivated, or broken. It means your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do. But here’s the great news: your brain is also built to change.

From Autopilot to Intention

Christina shares a vulnerable story about how she recognized one of her own patterns, shutting down emotionally when overwhelmed—and how she chose something different: naming the feeling, asking for connection, and breaking the cycle. It’s real, relatable, and proof that rewiring doesn’t have to be dramatic… it just has to be intentional.

The Rewiring Formula

Ready to start rewiring your own patterns? Christina walks you through a simple, powerful process:

1. Identify the loop – What’s the behavior you want to break?
2. Interrupt the pattern – Use a pause, breath, or even a name (hello, Regina George).
   Choose something new – Get specific. What do you want to do instead? What will you say, think, or do differently in that moment?

Behavior Follows Identity

Every new behavior is a vote for the person you’re becoming. Christina invites you to connect your new action with your deeper identity: Who are you choosing to be? What does she say, do, and believe? Rewiring isn’t just about habits, it’s about becoming.
