James 1:12–15 NKJV

12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

You notice behavior when it has consequences.

We only think of step 3 of having consequences, but step 2 has consequences! Step 3 is the consequence of step 2!!!

Colossians 3:1–2 NKJV

1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

Philippians 4:8 NKJV

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

We need interrupts to call our attention to step1, so we can take immediate action and “set our mind”!!!!

Interrupt 1: Tracking

Interrupt 2: Streaks

Interrupt 3: Accountability

None of those stop the process, they “interrupt” the process.
