Just Notice

I’ve been thinking a lot about awareness this week.

Not awareness in some big, spiritual, complicated sense.

Just noticing.

Noticing what I say "yes" to automatically.

Noticing the thought I have every time a particular opportunity comes up.

Noticing when I dismiss an idea - even before I’ve given it a chance.

Noticing the way I speak to myself when something doesn’t go to plan.

Noticing is powerful.

Because we can’t consciously change what we don’t notice.

And so much of what we do every day isn’t really a conscious choice at all.

It’s habitual. Familiar. Learned. Practised.

And because we’ve done it for so long, it simply feels like us.

But what if it isn’t?

♡

Perhaps one of the most powerful things you can do this weekend is simply become curious about yourself.

Not to fix anything.

Definitely not to judge or blame.

Not even to try becoming a “better version of yourself”.

Just notice.

Ask questions like

Where am I behaving automatically — when I might actually choose something different?

Because the moment you can see something you couldn’t see before, you have something incredibly valuable.

Choice.

And choice is where conscious creation begins.

You Already Know
I’ve had a couple of weeks where an idea I’ve been carrying for a long time has become much clearer. And it’s left me fascinated by what we all have in us. Often, when we’re struggling with something — a decision, a relationship, our business, our confidence, our time — we can tend to think we need something else, something more to add. More discipline. More motivation. More confidence. A bette...

The Raw Material of Creation
Often, in the hustle of daily life around us, it's easy to just drift along. Doing the do. These letters are an invitation to pause for a while, reconnect with what’s inside, and live a little more unapologetically you. ♡ How fitting that spring is just around the corner!
