Chapter 2 — Patterns

What This Chapter Is About

Chapter 2 focuses on patterns — things you do again and again, even when you don’t plan to. Patterns can show up in thoughts, emotions, reactions, and habits.

Key Ideas

• Patterns are repeatable, predictable behaviors or reactions.
• Patterns are not “good” or “bad” — they are information.
• Seeing a pattern clearly is the first step to changing it.

Simple Reflection

“What is one pattern I see in myself when I’m tired or stressed?”
