Avoidance Patterns in Practice
The mind's escape routes
Meditation practice reveals your default avoidance patterns — the mind's escape routes. Naming them without judgment is the practice.
My most common escape routes
- Planning the future
- Rehashing conversations
- Fantasy / rehearsal
- Body fidget
- Ending the sit early
- Suddenly urgent tasks
- Sleep
Which fires when a difficult feeling arises
