Awareness does not stop eating.
It stops eating from being invisible.
PAUSE
Over the next six days, you’ll explore a quieter way of relating to food.
Not by controlling urges, but by changing how attention behaves when they appear.
Today begins with PAUSE.
Not to stop yourself.
Not to make a decision.
You are simply invited to notice the moment eating begins.
Awareness comes first.
Change comes later, on its own.
To support that, you can use a Pattern Interrupter,
a small, neutral reminder which creates a brief gap.
That gap is enough.
Not to control the outcome, but to notice the pause.
That’s all you’re practising today.

Pattern Interrupter Setup Guide
.
1. Identify Your Automatic Zones
Where do you usually grab food without thinking?
- TV area (snacks during Netflix)
- Kitchen counter / fridge handle
- Snack drawer or cupboard
- Car glovebox / side pocket
- Desk or work area
2. Choose Your Reminder Objects
Use something small but visible, something that slightly surprises your brain.
- Smooth pebble or crystal
- Note card with message
- Ribbon or rubber band tied to handle
- Sticky note on remote or fridge
- Anything that makes you pause and smile
3. Add a Message or Phrase
You can write or engrave one short reminder on the object.
