00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:24.320
Behavior Test.

3
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:30.239
Welcome back to Absolutely Focused Radio, where healing holds the

4
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:35.640
mic and clarity takes center stage. Today we're unpacking a

5
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.880
subtle but powerful move, the behavior test. You know, the

6
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.960
feeling someone acts distant or confused but watches you closely.

7
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:48.640
You start wondering, am I tweaking? Let's be clear, you're not.

8
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:54.679
No shame, no blame, just truth tools and transformation crew.

9
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:59.920
Why do folks glance sideways, smirk when you catch it,

10
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:06.040
then play innocent when called out. It feels like a setup.

11
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:08.560
What's really going on here?

12
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:13.200
This is a covert control tactic, testing your reactions with

13
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.519
holding validation and pretending not to notice while tracking you.

14
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:24.239
It's subtle but powerful the impact people start performing instead

15
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:28.920
of living. But here's the truth. Noticing it doesn't mean

16
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.760
you're paranoid. It means you're awake.

17
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.959
Think background surveillance software, no pop ups, just quiet logging.

18
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.239
That's what this behavior mimics.

19
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:41.400
The fix.

20
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.120
Firewall equals boundaries, you decide what gets in. Don't click

21
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:50.280
spam equals don't react. Not every bait deserves a bite.

22
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:55.079
Save bandwidth equals refocus on your goals. Your energy is premium,

23
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.640
don't waste it on confusion. Your reactions are your data.

24
00:01:59.120 --> 00:01:59.879
Protect them like goal.

25
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.879
When the fog clears, you see the tests for what

26
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:09.599
it is, and here's the truth. Their test isn't your exam.

27
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:14.280
Your peace is your pastcode, Your focus is your firewall.

28
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.960
Don't give them the reaction they came for. Give yourself

29
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.599
the calm you deserve. I'm not saying this is easy,

30
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:29.240
but it can happen. One breath, one boundary, one moment

31
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:30.439
of clarity at a.

32
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:36.639
Time, quick reset thirty seconds to reclaim your power. These

33
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.400
aren't just calming tricks. Their nervous system tools designed to

34
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.000
bring you back to yourself. When someone's testing your piece,

35
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:48.520
name it. That's a test. Naming the behavior helps you

36
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.560
step out of confusion and into clarity. It's not personal.

37
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.439
It's a pattern, and once you name it, you stop

38
00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:02.479
performing for it. Breathe four four, Inhale for four seconds,

39
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:08.680
Hold for four seconds, exhale for six twice. This isn't

40
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.960
just breathing, it's a reset code for your body. The

41
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.919
inhale gathers your awareness, the hold builds your control. The

42
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:22.840
longer exhale tells your nervous system you're safe now. It

43
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.439
slows your heart rate, quiets your mind, and interrupts the

44
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.360
stress loop before it spirals. You're not just calming down,

45
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:36.479
you're reclaiming your rhythm. Body check, unclench your jaw, drop

46
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:41.479
your shoulders, soften your belly. These micro movements send a

47
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:46.240
signal to your brain I'm not in danger. They shift

48
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.719
you from fight or flight into grounded presence, where your

49
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:56.719
clarity lives. Choose, I respond, I don't react. This is

50
00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:02.080
your power line. Reaction is survival mode. Response is author mode.

51
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.240
You get to choose your story, not just play a

52
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:09.400
role in theirs. If they keep watching, let them You're

53
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.280
not a show. You're the author.

54
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:17.920
Be you, breathe, begin again. This isn't about perfection. It's

55
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:24.199
about permission. Permission to pause, permission to reset, permission to

56
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.639
be yourself without apology. Say it when you feel pulled

57
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.839
out of alignment. It's your anchor.

58
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.360
Don't let anybody turn you into their science project. You're

59
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:38.319
not the labrat, you're the blueprint. Say it loud. I

60
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.920
am the author of my reaction. If they toss a

61
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.000
smile to make you crack, smile back and keep walking.

62
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.680
If they shie eye me, do I shide I back.

63
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.399
Nope, that's clicking the spam archive.

64
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:56.839
It document patterns. Seeing it clearly ends the doubt.

65
00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:58.560
When you see it.

66
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:00.199
Don't feed up it.

67
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:07.199
Peace over performance, pause button, one breath before any reply.

68
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:15.720
Redirect you seem quiet? Everything okay? Spotlight back on them,

69
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:23.920
boundary light not a good time. Let's revisit later. Give

70
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:33.360
this journal receipt note date time pattern, clarity grows, reactivity shrinks,

71
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.000
and their watch doesn't write my story.

72
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.279
My piece is not for testing. My calm is my choice.

73
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:46.720
Awareness breaks the cycle, clarity is power firewall up.

74
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.120
No scan can rewrite my code.

75
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:52.079
I'm not a test subject. I'm the blueprint.

76
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:55.000
Be you breathe, begin again.

77
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:01.519
This was parallel truth, the behavior test on absolutely focused radio.

78
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.680
You weren't tweaking. You're not weak, and you're not alone.

79
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.480
Keep your peace, guard your energy, and walk in your

80
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:13.800
truth until next time. Stay absolutely focused.

81
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.120
You say the muscle, little cares.

82
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:23.600
Friends, stick the sides, the old, the contexts

83
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:31.639
Me fush stiff, Anita, You just need a bloo
