Try This: The 90-Second Loop Check
Use this as a quick observation exercise. The goal is not to force the loop away. The goal is to notice whether the volume changes.
Before 0–10
How strong is the urge right now?
Step 1 — 30s
Sit tall. Let your eyes soften onto a far point. One slow breath in… slow out.
Step 2 — 30s
Tongue to palate + gentle jaw rest. Lips closed, teeth apart.
Step 3 — 30s
Left-right heel taps, steady rhythm, count to 30.
After 0–10
How strong is the urge now?
Note
What changed? For how long?
Museum lesson
Competing signals can briefly turn the knob down so choice returns.
If any step feels uncomfortable, skip it. This is educational and exploratory, not medical advice.

Notice what changed—then return to the explanation.
This ninety-second check is an observation tool. It is not the mechanism itself and it is not a promise of relief.
