There is a kind of chaos that doesn’t come from the world around us. It comes from within.
We’ve all felt it, lying awake replaying a conversation, worrying about what might go wrong, or circling the same question waiting for the perfect clarity that never arrives.
These loops don’t mean we’re broken or weak. They’re our nervous system doing what it was trained to do, trying to create safety through repetition. The mind keeps circling not because it’s failing, but because it believes looping is safer than letting go.
What is important to know is that these loops aren’t permanent. They can be softened, shortened, and broken.
In this episode, I share how presence of mind and the SIRE Model™ help us move from looping to living, integrating awareness, inspiration, regulation, expression, and reflection to interrupt the patterns that hold us and create space for clarity and calm.
We’ll explore:
∞ Why thought loops are protective, not permanent.
∞ How compassion and presence begin to interrupt them.
∞ Why awareness and labeling (“I’m looping”) can release their hold.
∞ How HALT, RISE, and SHIFT re-train our nervous system to trust calm again.
∞ How breaking a loop isn’t about silencing thought but reclaiming choice.
Listen now to learn how to break your thought loop and return to steadiness and clarity.
