The Loop Interrupt

Spiraling right now? Good — you caught it while it's running. That's the hardest part, and you already did it.

Three steps. About 60 seconds. Breathe with the circle while you're here.

Step 1 of 3

Name the thought

One sentence. The loud version, exactly how it sounds in there. Naming it moves it from the part of your brain that panics to the part that observes.

Nothing you type leaves this device.

Step 2 of 3

Run the camera test

If a camera had been recording this situation — no sound track of your thoughts, just footage — what would it actually show? Facts only. No predictions, no mind reading.

Step 3 of 3

One accurate sentence

Rewrite the thought using only what the camera saw. Not positive — accurate. If it's still uncomfortable, that's allowed. Accurate is enough to break the loop.

Loop interrupted.

The spiral runs on autopilot. You just took the wheel back — and every time you do this, the interrupt gets faster and the loop gets weaker. That's not a metaphor. That's how wiring works.
