Break the Loopidoos: How to Escape the Trap and Bring Back the Damn Joy

Let’s talk about loopidoos.

Not the cute ones in your hair or the ones in cereal—

I’m talking about life loopidoos.

The sneaky little cycles we get stuck in that suck the colour out of our days and make us feel like background extras in our own lives.

Wake up → rush around → overthink → people-please → scroll → crash → repeat.

Sound like déjà vu in leggings?

At some point, the loopidoo becomes your entire personality.

You forget what lights you up. You forget how to have fun. You forget who the hell you are.

The Problem with Loopidoos

Loopidoos feel safe. Predictable. Comfy like old socks.

Even when they’re slowly draining your soul.

Why? Because they’re stitched together from:

• Childhood chaos
• Fear of the unknown
• Weird emotional muscle memory
• Guilt, shame, and soggy boundaries

They’re not just habits.

They’re emotional choreography.

You don’t just wake up tired—you wake up in the exact same headspace as yesterday.

You don’t just stay in a draining routine because you have no choice—

You stay because the loopidoo whispers, “This is normal. Don’t mess with it.”

But Here’s the Magic Bit: Loopidoos Can Be Unplugged

All it takes is a teeny, sparkly glitch in the system.

A small, cheeky act of rebellion.

A WTF-moment that doesn’t match the old script.

✨ Like bursting into a ridiculous dance when you’re supposed to be annoyed.

✨ Like swapping your to-do list for a nap and calling it “strategic restoration.”

✨ Like saying, “Actually, nah,” instead of people-pleasing.

✨ Like wearing glittery socks because… why not?

These are loopidoo busters.

They don’t look dramatic, but they’re potent little magic spells.

Because every time you interrupt the pattern, you’re telling your brain:

“Hey babe, we’re doing life differently now.”

How to Break Free From Your Loopidoo Life

1. 

Name Your Loopidoo

What’s your default Groundhog Day routine?

Get cheeky. Be honest.

Is it:

• “Wake up, worry, overthink, repeat” loopidoo?
• “Eat the snack, scroll till your eyeballs hurt” loopidoo?
• “Get inspired, self-sabotage, ghost your own goals” loopidoo?

Give it a name. Make it funny. Take its power away.

2. 

Choose One Loopidoo-Busting Habit

Start teeny-tiny.

Ask:

“What’s one thing I could add or subtract from today to shake things up in the best possible way?”

Ideas:

• Add: 10-minute dance party in your kitchen
• Subtract: One soul-sucking obligation
• Add: A song that makes you strut
• Subtract: A guilt trip you didn’t RSVP to
• Add: A ridiculously honest journal entry or voice note

Little tweaks. Big rewrites.

3. 

Make Room for Joy—On Purpose

Joy doesn’t magically land once your life is perfect and your inbox is empty (spoiler alert: it never is).

Joy shows up when you throw it an invite.

Even during chaos. Especially during chaos.

So go:

• Buy a pen that makes you feel like a boss
• Invent a mood-boosting drink and name it The Reboot Royale
• Wear something you secretly love but think is “too much” (hint: it’s not)
• Laugh. Out loud. At memes. Or yourself. Or life.

You don’t need anyone’s permission slip.

You’re the headmistress of your own vibes.

Final Truth: You’re Not Broken—Just Looped

But loopidoos aren’t forever.

You can snip, tweak, and remix your routines until they feel like freedom with a side of fun.

Create a new loopidoo—one with pleasure, peace, and play in it.

A life that feels alive.

And it all starts with one tiny, delicious, rebellious choice.

Now go glitch the system. Joy is waiting.
