I almost didn’t write this (because patterns 🙄)

What:

Confession time: sometimes I have zero motivation to write these blogs. Even when I’ve got a juicy brain nugget I know you’ll love.

Case in point: I could’ve written this HOURS ago. Instead, I…procrastinated. (And yes, my spice rack is now organised by colour 🙃)

But then—bam!—clarity hit. I realised: 

Every time I procrastinate, I’m just training my brain to be a world-class procrastinator. 

Basically, I’m running drills in the Olympics of avoidance 🥇

So here I am, undoing that pattern. Writing to you. Finally.

Why:

Your brain is the boss of EVERYTHING. 

And that same brain? It runs on PATTERNS. 

Every time you repeat something—anything—your brain makes it easier to do that thing again. 

Handy when it’s brushing your teeth. Less handy when it’s:

  • Believing falling from a handstand is terrifying 😱 

  • Telling yourself “I’m not ready yet” (spoiler: you are)

  • Choosing to repot houseplants instead of writing that email (hi, it me)

  • Giving into that glass of wine or cueing up Netflix instead of sitting with the feels

How:

Notice your patterns.

If they’re not serving you—switch the damn pattern.

The recipe:

👀 Awareness

"I notice that I stop as soon as an exercise starts feeling difficult"
“I notice I shut down whenever someone gives me feedback.”

🔥 Conscious action to change

"I remind myself that the burn = my muscles getting stronger."
“I remind myself feedback isn’t a personal attack — it’s info I can use.”

✨ New pattern emerges

"I actually start enjoying the challenge instead of running from it."
“I stay open, listen, and maybe even thank them"

Your brain is plastic (in the science-y way, not the Barbie way). Don’t underestimate that squishy miracle in your skull.

To breaking and remaking patterns,
