Lesson 2561 Sonder.

A client taught me a new word yesterday, through a tattoo.

SONDER.

Sonder is the quiet realisation that every person you pass is living a life as deep and intricate as your own.
A whole inner world filled with memories, fears, dreams, and stories you will never fully know.

It is the moment you pause and recognise that the stranger walking beside you carries their own chapters.
The barista who remembers your order has a heart that has broken and healed.
The driver at the lights might be holding a hope so delicate it has no words yet.
The person who frustrates you may be moving through something heavy that you cannot see.

Sonder softens us.
It widens our compassion and reminds us that we are all navigating our way, trying, learning, growing.

In hypnotherapy, we often explore how expanding awareness shifts our emotional state.

Sonder does the same.
The moment you see others as whole and human, something inside you settles.
You meet the world with less defence and more understanding.

Sonder invites us to walk through the day with a quieter heart, a gentler mind and a deeper appreciation for the invisible stories unfolding all around us.

Lesson 2559 The Bali Bintang.

We carried those Bintang Radlers everywhere.
Bought them thinking they would be the perfect poolside moment.
A little holiday ritual.
Something you are meant to do when you are away.

We moved them from room to room in the first resort.
Then carried them down the main street of Ubud to the next one, tucked safely in our bags, still unopened.
They sat in the fridge the whole time and we even forgot they were there.

I bought them because it felt like the thing you do on a holiday.
But we chose not to drink them.
Not out of restriction, simply because the desire never arrived.

There was something quietly refreshing about that.
Letting go of the story that a holiday has to look a certain way.
Realising that enjoyment comes from presence, not from copying a moment we think we are supposed to have.

Sometimes the freedom is not in the sip, it is in the choice.

Lesson 2558 Taboo Minimisation.

There are moments when we soften the truth without even realising it.
Not because we are dishonest, but because certain topics have lived in the shadows for so long that speaking them fully feels too exposed.

This is taboo minimisation, the quiet habit of shrinking something that feels uncomfortable or socially forbidden. We tell part of the story, but not all of it. We soften the edges. We make it sound smaller than it is so we don’t have to sit in the weight of it.

Most of us learn this growing up.
Some subjects were whispered.
Some emotions were covered.
Some experiences were tucked away because they felt too much for others.

In hypnotherapy, this is often the doorway in. The moment a client minimises something taboo, their subconscious is showing the place where protection was born. Not wrong, just learned. Not weakness, just survival.

When the space feels safe enough, people begin to name their truth without shrinking it.
And that naming becomes healing.
Not dramatic, not forceful, just honest.
A gentle allowing.

Taboo minimisation is not a flaw.
It is a sign that someone once needed armour.

And it is also a sign that they are ready to lay a little of it down.

Lesson 2557. looking through the window🌲

There is something truly special about watching Bronte paint the windows at Alasana each Christmas. It has become one of those quiet traditions that settles into your heart, the kind that reminds you how simple moments can create the greatest sense of joy.

Every brushstroke brings a little more colour to the front windows. People walking past slow down. They smile. They point things out to their kids. For a moment the world feels softer and a little lighter.

What Bronte creates is more than decoration. It is connection. It is the feeling of being welcomed before you even step inside. It is joy made visible.

And every year I am reminded that community is shaped by the small rituals we choose to honour. The ones that ask for nothing yet give so much in return.

Lesson 2554 The female covert Narcissist friend.

There’s a kind of friendship pain we don’t talk about enough, the covert narcissist friend. The one who enters your life with warmth and softness, who opens up quickly, who makes the connection feel rare. It feels safe at first, until it doesn’t.

She shares stories where she’s always the one who was wronged. Never accountable. Always misunderstood. And because she shows you her wounds so openly, you feel for her. You support her. You show up. But slowly, something starts to feel off. You realise the closeness wasn’t mutual, it was emotional dependence dressed as vulnerability.

And the moment you set a boundary or take your energy back, the shift comes. The warmth disappears. The story changes. She begins shaping a version of events that protects her image and paints you as the problem. Not because you did anything wrong, but because she needs to stay the victim.

If this has happened to you, please hear this:
You didn’t imagine it.
You didn’t overreact.
You’re not a bad friend for needing space.

You simply saw the truth she hides from everyone else. And choosing your peace doesn’t make you unkind, it makes you conscious.

You deserve friendships that feel real, mutual, and safe.

Lesson 2552 The Point.

There comes a point when turning something over in your mind no longer brings clarity, it just brings exhaustion. The story stays the same, but the energy around it becomes heavier, tighter, louder.

Some things don’t need endless analysis, just acknowledgment.
A gentle nod to reality.
A quiet exhale.
A simple, honest “this happened”.

When we stop resisting what already is, the nervous system softens. The shoulders drop. The breath returns. The mind loosens its grip. Acceptance isn’t giving up, and it isn’t approval. It’s recognising that the moment has already passed and continuing to fight it only keeps you anchored to what cannot be undone.

Acceptance is presence.
Acceptance is power.
Acceptance is momentum.

When you allow yourself to move from the past into now, you create space.
Space for healing.
Space for clarity.
Space for the next step.

Forward isn’t always fast. Sometimes it’s one breath. One decision. One tiny movement toward yourself.

But forward is forward.

Lesson 2547. The Quiet Choice

There are moments in life when the path ahead seems to split in two.

Neither is wrong, neither is right, they are simply different.

And we stand there for a while, just like Frost’s traveller, looking as far as we can into the trees, trying to understand what each turn might bring.

What I have learned is that our choices rarely shout.

They whisper.

A soft pull in the chest, a nudge in the breath, a feeling that one direction somehow aligns more gently with who we are becoming.

The world often celebrates the road that looks brave or bold, yet the truth is simpler.

The path that changes us is usually the one that asks for honesty.

It asks us to honour our own knowing, even when others cannot yet see the beauty in it.

Choosing the quieter road does not mean choosing the easier road.

But it does mean choosing the one that supports our growth, our healing, our grounding.

It is the choice that leads us closer to ourselves.

In hypnotherapy, I often see how these crossroads hold old stories and patterned fears.

When we soften those stories, when we breathe into what we truly want rather than what we think we should choose, the next step becomes clearer.

Not louder, just clearer.

Somewhere in the future, we will look back on these moments with a quiet sigh of recognition.

Not regret, not triumph, but understanding.
We will see that the path we chose shaped us in ways we could not have imagined.

And that has made all the difference.

Lesson 2546. The Kindness of Others. Have you wondered why there are so many Jacaranda trees in the Shire?

Sometimes it’s easy to forget how much of what we see around us began with a simple act of kindness.

In the 1950s, Matron Irene Haxton from the Jacaranda Maternity Hospital in Woolooware gifted every new mother a jacaranda seedling to plant at home. A quiet, beautiful gesture that has now coloured the Sutherland Shire in shades of purple each spring.

Those trees stand as living reminders of the kindness of others.

Acts of care that ripple through time, touching lives long after the hands that began them have moved on.

Kindness doesn’t always make a sound.
Sometimes it just blooms. Quietly, faithfully, year after year.
