REFLECTION
Naming something accurately gives a strong sensation of having handled it, and that sensation is the trap. Self-knowledge is genuinely useful and it is not the same as different behavior. Plenty of people can describe their own patterns in impressive detail while those patterns continue exactly as before, undisturbed by all that accurate description.
Take the pattern you can already name and attach one concrete change to it this week. A rule, a limit, a different opening move. Small is fine. Insight with nothing attached ages into a story you tell about yourself.
Which pattern have you named but never actually interrupted?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
