Ep. 132 Part 5: Work Isn't Working...The Hardest Part REWIRE

Most of the rules running your life were written before you were old enough to question them.

In this episode, Bree introduces the second step of the Work Recovery Method — REWIRE — and breaks down the invisible operating system underneath all of our behavior: your ABCs (agreements, beliefs, and conditioning). If you've ever changed jobs and still ended up in the same cycle or pattern of dissatisfaction, this is the episode that explains why, and what to do about it.

Key Takeaways

• Your ABCs (agreements, beliefs, conditioning) are the operating system underneath all of your behavior — including the patterns you wish you could change.
• Changing your external circumstances won't interrupt a pattern that lives at this level. The work has to happen from the inside
• Neuroscience confirms the brain can form new neural pathways at any age but the new path will feel like a dirt road before it feels like a highway
• Rewiring starts with one question: what outcome am I experiencing, and is it one I actually want?
• The more aware you become of what's driving you, the more agency you feel and agency is what makes life feel expansive rather than reactive

Reflection Question Take a look at one recurring pattern in your work or relationships. What agreement, belief, or conditioning might be sitting underneath it? Is it something you chose, or something you inherited?
