Welcome to Eyes Wide Open

If you've found your way here, chances are you’re done with drifting, delaying, or dimming your light. 
You're ready to live fully. Not someday. Not when you’ve ticked every box or pleased every person.

 

Welcome to Eyes Wide Open; a little insight, a lot of life

 

In this first edition, I want to ask you something simple.

Q: What have you been postponing...that actually matters to you?

Not the laundry. Not the inbox.
I mean the real stuff.
The conversation. The idea. The version of you who doesn’t need permission.


Insight

Most of us aren’t stuck because we lack clarity.
We’re stuck because we’re waiting for the 'how', or the 'perfect time'.

It pays to remember that life is not a dress rehearsal. It's happening, now.


Practice

Catch yourself putting things off, postponing—and pause.

When you hear yourself say “I'll do that later" or "I should do that one day,” ask:

Am I protecting myself, or postponing myself?

Then… do the smallest possible version of the thing.
One call. One sentence. One step.

Start this week, don’t wait.
Start small. Start messy. But start.


Join us for breakfast!

 

If you find you are constatnly people pleasing, looking for validation, dimming your light, trying to get results ... it's time to tap into your power, discover how to let your uniqueness rise, and live with the confident ease and freedom born from knowing who you really are.

Wednesday 7th May | 8am-9:30am | Sunnyside Cafe, Henley Beach

...here's the correct link
I sent you an email on Saturday, and the link wasn't quite right. Here's the correct link to get hold of the 5 Patterns Guide - 5 common patterns that keep people from living the way they want to - and how to begin the shift. You can download the 5 Patterns Guide here.  Di ♡      
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 pow...
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...
