Picture a plane, Teri. Ending the day is cutting the engine. Landing is the descent: wheels down, weight settling onto solid ground, full stop. These last three nights your day ended but your body never touched down. So at night it's still circling the runway, engine running, looking for somewhere to put its weight. That's the ruminating. So no, it's not quite "put into practice what you read." It's more physical than that. Landing is letting your nervous system feel the ground come up to meet it before sleep, instead of just clicking off the lights mid-air. A few slow breaths where you actually feel your back, your feet, the bed holding you. The body arriving, not just the to-do list stopping. Sleep on it. But that's the picture: touch down, don't just switch off. I’m not the best with metaphors so when JT gave me this suggestion on my check-in I needed more clarification… funny part each time I drifted up from my sleep I found myself reciting “relax we’re coming in for a landing” 😂 Simply gorgeous how our brains work, isn’t it ..🥸

Masks are exhausting.

📅 Daily Check-in - June 15, 2026 💭 Reflection: "I've had a bit of a restless night. My legs are starting to recover from the jelly-like feeling and no doubt the pain will hit later. I've done some work on Worksheet 4 this morning since I had been awake at 5am. And what I felt as daunting and flying blind about building my business in coaching, isn't that at all. My Monster Squash had kicked in and when I broke it down to the first smallest actionable step, it wasn't daunting at all. I let the belief that it was daunting take hold of me. So my first step today is to pick up the first lesson in Module 3 and start it. It's that simple. Without qualification, the coaching business wouldn't be a business. And the realisation of taking the smallest next step is priceless!" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 7/10 ⚡ Energy: 7/10 🎯 Focus: 7/10 😌 Calmness: 7/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 5/10 🔥 Motivation: 7/10 ⭐ Average: 6.7/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🍺 No Alcohol ☕ No Late Caffeine 🥩 Hit Protein Goal ✨ Positive Mindset 🎯 Deep Work 🎓 Online Course

I honestly can't remember the last time I had a bad day. But yesterday was the day. It didn't arrive with a bang. It crept in. I wanted to take it easy, do nothing for once, and within an hour the nothing turned into boredom. Out of that boredom I started snacking on stuff I knew would make me feel worse, and it did, almost instantly. Then I picked up my phone and started scrolling. Ten minutes in I was completely dopamine-depleted. Empty. Like someone had quietly unplugged me. So I did what I tell other people not to do. I reached for more of the same. I opened a video game. The last time I did that was December 2024. More than a year and a half ago. I didn't realize that until I was already sitting there like a zombie, not even enjoying it. Funny how the brain reaches for the exact habit it used to lean on when it's hurting. While I was sitting there feeling nothing, I looked at the community. It's been growing like crazy. Yesterday we hit number 9 in Discovery across the entire Skool platform!! I looked at the number and felt nothing. And for a split second i even thought, why am i even doing this? What's the point? Rationally I knew that was nonsense. I knew it in the moment. But knowing something does absolutely nothing for the way you feel when you're in it. You can be self-aware and still stuck. Awareness alone doesn't pull you out. So I stood up. I walked to the window and just stared outside for a while. I was thinking of two options. One was easy: crawl into bed, pull the curtains, and let the day get worse. Sink deeper into it. The other one I couldn't even see the end of. It just meant doing one thing, any thing. 2024 me would've picked option 1, but.. I just looked for the smallest possible action and DID IT. I walked over to my bed and grabbed my Eight Sleep, the mattress that regulates my temperature at night so I actually get deep sleep. Amazing thing by the way, even if it's stupidly expensive. Next to it was the filter. It had been sitting on my nightstand for three months. I kept walking past it, telling myself it was a whole job, that I'd get to it later. I finally swapped it. It took ten seconds. Ten seconds. And it gave me this tiny, real hit of dopamine.

I’ve spent all my life trying to be “just like them” aka NT’s. Now I’m breaking down those masks and seeing me. Spending my days in this Cohort connecting back remembering my natural rhythm has been an amazing journey. 💡 Personal Insight ~ Today you did the thing you do best when you trust yourself, Teri: you let your body lead. Three walks, the quiet sit in your garden like your father's, the light dinner after honoring what that old breakfast sandwich cost you. That's not a small day, that's you living your "simple sacred life" out loud. You've strung together seven steady days now, and the thread running through them is satisfaction earned through following your own rhythm rather than pushing. The bathroom you started but didn't close isn't failure, it's proof you've learned that making headway counts. You're someone who needs to feel a decision settle before acting, and you've been giving yourself that room. Tonight, that book is your reward, not another task. You are already becoming the person you're trying to build a practice around. → Today - Let the unfinished thing rest. - Trust the slow yes in your body. - Read tonight purely for pleasure.
