Recognizing Patterns of Behavior

By being self-aware and observing his impulses and reactions, the speaker learned to recognize patterns of behavior that he didn't like. Initially feeling reactive and led by desires, he started noticing these behaviors as they unfolded, leading to a realization that his mind was teaching him by offering a different view of himself. This awareness allowed him to transition from autopilot to actively disrupting unwanted behavior patterns, leading to gradual changes over time.
