I’m so used to running a list in my head of all the “things” need doing! With JT’s assistance I’m building new and healthy changes. Today for the first time I said in check-in “whatever comes up for the day, comes up” that’s no small statement! So here’s today’s To Do list ➡️ → Today - Go to the bank, then let it rest. - Say yes to Shari before 10. - One task done beats five imagined.

📅 Daily Check-in - August 5, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Just finished with Jim's live Q&A that started at 4am this morning. I realised that I had fallen off track with everything - but that was because life has really sucked the last little while. It's going to get worse in some aspects and no one can ever be prepared for what's coming up. So with that aside, I realised that I've naturally moved away from my circle of friends - the gossip and negativity was really draining me. The other weekend, I felt my hackles go up when I met with them. They said the right things but then just blanked me out. It was a horrible feeling and my body was telling me to get out. So I have. That's over a week ago now but it's a step in the right direction. After the Q&A I needed to start closing a few things - the first being the Bridge worksheet which had been sitting for a long time. Just one question was all that needed answering. Quick dopamine hit achieved - worksheet completed. Well it will complete one day when the report generates..... So a positive start to what I'm hoping will be a positive day!" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 7/10 ⚡ Energy: 7/10 🎯 Focus: 7/10 😌 Calmness: 7/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 6/10 🔥 Motivation: 7/10 ⭐ Average: 6.8/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol ☕ No Late Caffeine 🥩 Hit Protein Goal 🥦 Ate Vegetables 🍳 Home Cooked Meal 🧘‍♂️ Meditation ✨ Positive Mindset 🎯 Deep Work 🧠 Learning 🎓 Online Course 👥 Quality Time 🤝 Helped Someone 👂 Active Listening

Six weeks done. What I'm carrying forward: an observer that catches the spiral before it deepens, a sleep protocol I actually hold, and one protected weekly rhythm that returns me to myself. My Big Rock now is being present with Mum and Dad while there's still time. Present, not perfect. The masks still show up, but I can see them now instead of being them.

If someone waved a magic wand and your tinnitus disappeared tonight... What's the first ordinary thing you'd do tomorrow? Not your dream vacation. Not quitting your job. Not anything huge. Just something normal. Maybe you'd sit in a quiet room without thinking about it. Read a book. Take a nap. Go for a walk. Enjoy your morning coffee. I asked myself this question recently, and it made me realize something... Many of those things don't actually require silence. They require permission to live again. That was a wake-up call for me. So... what's your answer? What's the first ordinary thing you'd love to do?
