Pattern Interrupting helped me a lot. It stopped most of my negative self-talk and I'm still using it to interrupt those negative patterns!
I'm not sure, but I think Pattern Interrupting was first introduced by Anthony Robbins in his Personal Power CDs! If you buy/download/rent/etc. them, you won't make a mistake!
I will try to be as brief as I can...
Pattern Defined!
Patterns are actually our ways to react on different situations. Different people have different patterns. For example, if someone offends you and you react by saying something back - you go into a pattern, which if "used" constantly will become your default pattern to reacting to this kinds of situations!
Shy people, for example, when standing to a hotty, go into a negative pattern - talking to themselves about how they look, should they look in her direction, etc.. etc.. Which is their default pattern in that situation.
But, don't worry! There's a solution to this problem!
Pattern Interrupting!
You must be very observing and dedicated in order to achive maximum results! Whenever you go into a negative pattern, become aware of it! Then say something funny to yourself (in your head, not vocally) or remember something funny, so that you make yourself laugh inside! BOOM, pattern interrupted! Yes, it's as easy as that!
This will replace your old negative pattern with pattern of unconcern and nonchalance, because that's what laughing symbolizes, right?
So if you're the shy guy in my example above, whenever you hear your negative self-talk, say something funny (in your head, not vocally) to interrupt your pattern and then if you wish to add additional effect do the opposite of what your negative inner voice said! Repeat until the desired effect is achieved.
I, for example, interrupt my patterns by saying "[WIP] [WIP] [WIP]" (these are the transcriptions of a word that does not exist; the closest word is "weep", but it has long i - [WI
]) very fast. I somehow associated this to laughing.. And it works perfectly
That was a very brief explaination, so if you have questions feel free to ask! Of course, you can interrupt patterns not only with something that makes you laugh, but I think this is the best way, because it replaces your old negative pattern with a neutral one!
Have fun experimenting and destroying your fears! Bye!
