YOU HAVE BEEN HERE: As some driven leaders repeat the same emotional patterns even after changing countries, careers, or partners?
hashtag#rebirthleaders hashtag#jencoaching
This week, I had a deep conversation with an education leader I coach, different environments, different roles, different chapters of life; yet the same internal emotional climate kept resurfacing.
If you work with founders, executives, or high achievers, you’ve seen this pattern.
We have roughly 60,000–80,000 thoughts per day, about 90% of them repeat; and many of those repeated thoughts are protective in nature.
When thoughts repeat, patterns repeat. When patterns repeat, results repeat.
The mind develops a script. The body memorizes a response. The nervous system chooses what feels familiar.
Familiar does not always mean expansive. It simply means known. This is why more motivation rarely solves the issue.
More discipline helps — but only when we are not operating inside a recycled mental loop.
What creates sustainable change is awareness + regulation + intentional shift. Here is the framework we applied:
1. Map the Loop
What thought appears first?
What emotion follows?
What body sensation activates?
What behavior comes next?
2. Regulate Before Deciding
Leaders often make strategic decisions in a dysregulated state.
A walk.
Breathwork.
Silence.
Short reset.
Clarity improves dramatically when the nervous system feels safe.
3. Insert One Micro-Shift
A different boundary.
A different timing.
A different response.
Repeated micro-adjustments compound into identity evolution.
And the deeper layer:
Reconnect with your core essence.
Ask:
What would my most aligned self choose here?
Leadership is not about controlling every thought.
It is about choosing which thoughts get repeated.
If 80% of our thoughts lean protective, imagine gradually replacing them with growth-oriented, compassionate, future-focused thinking.
This is when inside-out leadership creates long-term stability. Each reborn pattern gives BIRTH to a new life.
I AM curious:
Where in your professional life do you notice a repeating internal pattern — despite external progress?
