Orientation · Protocol 01

Awareness Pause

Interrupt automatic behaviour long enough to notice what is happening. Build the habit of noticing before changing. Awareness comes before change.

Three times this week…

  • Stop what you’re doing.
  • Ask yourself: What am I doing?
  • Ask yourself: Why am I doing this?
  • Don’t judge. Don’t solve. Just notice.

Why it matters

You can’t intentionally shape your choices if you never notice that a choice is happening.

Use the protocol, then return to your life.

This is a starting tool, not a demand to optimize everything at once. Try the protocol as written, notice what happens, and adapt only when you have something real to learn from.
