🧠 The Interrupt Ritual: Stop, Name, Reclaim

You know that moment when you’re halfway through a doomscroll, halfway through a snack, halfway through a self-sabotage spiral — and you suddenly think, “Wait, what am I even doing?” 

Because sometimes, the most luxurious thing you can do is wake yourself up.

🔥 The Challenge

Step 1: Interrupt Yourself

Set a timer for three random times today. When it goes off, stop whatever you’re doing — no matter what — and ask:

“What am I feeling right now, and what am I avoiding?”

Step 2: Name It

Write it down. One sentence. No filters.

Examples:

• “I’m bored and avoiding my bank balance.”

• “I’m lonely and avoiding my inbox.”

• “I’m anxious and avoiding my creativity.”

Step 3: Reclaim It

Choose one tiny action that flips the script.

Examples:

• Open your banking app and just look.

• Text someone who makes you feel seen.

• Write one messy paragraph of your next blog post.

💅 The Ritual: Interrupt with Intention

Tonight, light a candle and read your three interruptions aloud.

Then say:

“I am not my avoidance. I am my awareness.”

Apply your boldest lipstick.

Take a selfie.

Caption it: “Interrupted. Reclaimed. Rich in clarity.”

🧨 Closing Mantra

“I interrupt patterns. I reclaim power. I am the luxury I’ve been waiting for.”
