We drift because we try to solve the whole problem at once, and our system gets overwhelmed. When you look at your to-do list, your brain sees a threat. Let’s make it smaller. Forget the big picture today. What is one tiny promise you can keep to yourself today? Not for your boss, not for your family. For you. Maybe it’s drinking water. Maybe it’s a 5-minute walk. Maybe it’s sending one text. Tell us the one small thing below. We will hold the space for you to do it.

If you are stuck, you’ve probably spent years beating yourself up for being "lazy" or "undisciplined." Let’s stop that right now. Trauma teaches your body that being seen is dangerous. So, when you try to start a new project or make a change, your nervous system pulls the emergency brake. It freezes you to keep you safe. You are drifting because a part of you is terrified that if you succeed, you will be vulnerable. Today, just acknowledge that your hesitation is actually a form of protection. You don't need to force it. You just need to understand it. Reply "Safe" if you are ready to put the whip down.

We confuse thinking about the work with doing the work. You don't need another podcast, another book, or another plan. You are over-fed and under-executed. This week, we stop consuming and start moving.

After all the love you lot showed me about the up coming interview, I caught myself laughing and saying things like: “Mad, isn’t it… a ‘famous’ guy even noticed me.” And then I stopped and thought… Why do we talk about ourselves like that? Why do we act surprised when someone gives us time, respect, or opportunity? Like we’re somehow not meant to have it. Growing up, I heard things like: • “Just get a trade, that’s what people like us do.” • “We don’t go to university.” • “We’re workers. That’s our lane.” • “Money is for other people.” • “There’s haves and have-nots… we’re the have-nots.” Along with plenty of other “well-meaning” messages. No one meant harm. It wasn’t malicious. It was survival thinking. But the message underneath it all was simple: “You’re not worthy.” Not worthy of big rooms. Not worthy of big dreams. Not worthy of being taken seriously. And that stuff gets passed down quietly. This isn’t about chasing riches or power. It’s about unlearning the invisible limits we were given. And choosing consciously to stop passing them on. If you’ve ever felt “less than” without knowing why… It probably didn’t start with you. 🖤

It’s about not being in motion with other people. Research consistently shows It reduces when we do small, visible things with others. Not deep conversations. Not pouring your heart out. Not finding “your people”. Simple behaviours. Things like: being in the same place regularly doing something side-by-side speaking briefly, even awkwardly being seen doing the same thing more than once Why? Because the brain doesn’t measure connection by intimacy all the time, it measures it by frequency and predictability. When contact is low-pressure and repeated, the nervous system relaxes. When connection depends on meaning or depth, it feels risky, so people withdraw from it. That’s why loneliness often gets worse when people try harder to fix it. The most effective tools aren’t emotional. They’re behavioural. Show up. Repeat. Be visible. Leave before it gets heavy. Loneliness eases when your system learns: “I exist in other people’s world.” This isn’t about becoming social. It’s about becoming present.
