Step 1 – I AM AWARE

There’s a moment—maybe quiet, maybe chaotic—when you realize: “I can’t keep going like this.”

That was me during early COVID, exhausted and ragey, hustling for everyone else while secretly cracking inside. I had read every self-help book over the past decade, but I hadn’t lived what they taught. When my husband, Ant was shot during lockdown, everything stopped. It stripped me bare. And in that raw pause, I finally started seeing things clearly.

That was my first real step:

I became AWARE.
Of the constant fear in my body.
Of my need to control.
Of how much I’d ignored myself.
Awareness doesn’t mean it all gets better right away.
It means you’ve opened your eyes.
And that’s freaking brave.

 

Try this:

Pick one moment today. Just one.
Pause. Feel everything in it.
Don’t fix. Don’t run. Just notice.
That’s where change begins.
