Most of us want to understand why we feel, think, and act the way we do. The In Sync Method explores The Top 10 Self-Defeating Patterns that, if left unchecked, can leave us feeling out of control and disconnected from the things that matter most. These patterns—such as avoiding conflict, procrastination, and struggling with self-doubt—can cause us to feel out of sync, stuck in a survival-focused state, where we overprotect ourselves and lose connection with what really matters the most to us. When these patterns are not managed, they can significantly impact our mental health fitness, leading to increased stress, anxiety, and even depression.
By identifying and addressing The Top 10 Self-Defeating Patterns early, Amanda provides the tools to help you get back in sync, to regain control, restore emotional balance, and improve your overall mental health fitness.

Being In Sync Means...
You know those days when everything just feels out of sync? Like nothing is working—your day starts off wrong, maybe you spill your milk, you can’t get yourself going quickly enough, you’re running late, and then you get stuck in traffic. When you finally get to work, things aren’t working as they should, like the computer isn’t working or something else is going wrong.
We can feel out of sync in those kinds of situations. But it’s not just about logistics—we can also feel out of sync with our partners or family members, like we’re not on the same page and things just aren’t clicking.
The In Sync Method takes this concept further. It focuses on how specific self-defeating patterns, which are within our control to manage, can lead to us feeling out of sync. These patterns impact four key areas of connection in our lives. When we address these patterns, we can get back in sync in these four areas:
- Being In Sync with ourselves,
- Being In Sync with others,
- Being In Sync with our sense of purpose, and
- Being In Sync with a sense of belonging.
These are the key areas that help us feel like life is going well or that we’re in control most of the time. Even when we occasionally feel out of sync, we’re okay with it because, for the majority of the time, we feel connected and that the four key areas in our life are being managed well. This is the core concept of The In Sync Method—managing the top 10 self-defeating patterns that are within our control to help us get back in sync with ourselves, others, our sense of belonging, and our purpose.

Discover the Pillars of Harmony
The 4 Pillars of The In Sync Method
At the heart of The In Sync Method are the 4 Pillars of Stability, which form the foundation for mental well-being, resilience, and a balanced life. These pillars represent four key areas essential to living in harmony with yourself and others:
A strong connection with oneself—this includes self-esteem, self-acceptance, values, beliefs, self-regulation, skills, and abilities.
A strong connection with others—focused on building healthy, supportive relationships with family, friends, partners, and co-workers.
A strong connection with meaning and purpose—centred on personal goals, interests, career opportunities, and passions that give direction and fulfilment.
A strong connection with something greater than oneself—developing a sense of belonging by showing gratitude, giving back to the community, and demonstrating compassion for others.
When these 4 Pillars are strong, they provide the balance and stability needed to thrive in life. However, the Top 10 Self-Defeating Patterns—such as avoiding conflict, procrastination, or self-doubt—can disrupt these pillars, leaving us feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and stuck in survival mode.
By learning how to manage and overcome these patterns, you naturally strengthen the 4 Pillars, which in turn supports your mental health fitness, reduces stress, and fosters a deeper sense of connection and purpose. The In Sync Method provides practical tools to help you identify and address these self-defeating patterns, so you can get back in sync and live a life that truly matters to you.
