The 3 Body Signals That Reveal Your Pattern Is About to Take Over

Your pattern doesn't start in your mind. It starts in your body.

By the time you're aware you're being defensive, controlling, people-pleasing, or shutting down, your pattern has already taken over.

But your body sends signals 10 seconds before your pattern hijacks you.

The Universal Body Signals

1. Tightness

Chest, throat, jaw, stomach. Your body is bracing.

2. Heat

Face flushing, heart racing. Your nervous system is activating.

3. Urgency

The overwhelming need to DO something RIGHT NOW.
