The Self-Awareness

Purpose / Reason
✅ Identify your own attachment patterns and their origins.

How to Apply

1. Write a 3‑line self‑respect pledge (values, boundaries, rest).
2. Schedule a 10‑minute daily ritual that nourishes you (non‑negotiable).
3. Decline one request this week that violates your pledge.
4. Celebrate one action daily—log it in one sentence.

How & Why It Works

• Self‑compassion practices improve mood regulation and reduce shame spirals, supporting healthy boundaries.

Results & Goals

• Immediate (0–72h): Fewer obsessive loops; sleep and appetite stabilize; first relief moments appear.
• Short‑term (1–4 weeks): Clearer boundaries and less contact checking; improved mood and energy; more social reconnection.
• Medium‑term (1–3 months): New relationship patterns (secure behaviors); sustained focus on goals; genuine hope and attraction alignment.
