Shape a mind that works for you, not against you

17/09/2025

You know that feeling when you're emotionally vulnerable and your brain immediately goes "Right, time for damage control"?

Sometimes we try to protect ourselves by hiding parts of who we are, aiming for perfection, or withdrawing.

These reactions might seem like they help keep difficult feelings away, but often they make those feelings stronger.

Withdrawing can leave us feeling more alone.
Trying to be perfect sets an impossibly high bar, and falling short can deepen those painful feelings.

Being self-critical just reinforces the idea that we're not enough.

The first step to changing this cycle is noticing what our protection patterns are, without judgement.

The gentle truth: these responses come from a place of pain and a genuine desire to keep yourself safe (and honestly, that's pretty understandable).

With some kindness (and maybe a bit of support), you can start to soften these protective habits and treat yourself with the understanding you'd offer most other people.

You might have an internal locus of control if you believe your choices and actions always shape your outcomes in life.

This mindset is brilliant for problem-solving and taking ownership, but it can also make you feel like you need to fix absolutely everything… even stuff that's honestly not yours to sort out.

It can also make getting through hardships in life even harder, because genuinely not everything bad that happens to you, is about you messing up or missing something.

The sweet spot is balancing ACTION with ACCEPTANCE.

That can look like pausing to check if something is actually yours to change, letting others carry some of the load, or being a bit kinder to yourself when things don't work out despite your best efforts.

Research isn’t just telling us gratitude feels good, it shows real benefits. Gratitude can literally rewire your brain to boost mood, improve sleep, and even support physical health.

Here are 3 ways to weave gratitude into your day:

1. Morning Moment
→ Before slipping into phone-scroll mode, pause and name one thing you’re truly grateful for. Even a small thing counts.

2. Gratitude Cue
→ Tie gratitude to a daily routine, like brushing your teeth or making your morning coffee.

3. Evening Anchor
→ Before bed, write down three things you appreciated today, and why they mattered to you.

Gratitude won’t erase life’s challenges, but it trains our brain to notice the good alongside the hard.

This brings balance and greater truth to our perspectives, which is a pretty incredible Return On Investment in our book.

That moment when you catch yourself avoiding something or spiralling into old patterns again… it's easy to slip into self-blame.

What if noticing isn't evidence you're failing at life, but actually your awareness expanding? (which is pretty brilliant, tbh).

We can learn to be aware of unhelpful patterns without making ourselves the villain.

Instead of ‘Ugh why do I always do this?’ try ‘What's happening here?’ ‘Why this time, what is the context?’

One keeps you stuck in a shame spiral, the other opens doorways to understanding.

When we are gentle with our noticing, we keep in mind that our patterns are new information, and part of learning, not indictments.

Often when someone criticises us, it can feel hurtful or confusing.

But beneath that frustration or sharpness, there may be something more tender; a longing.

Many criticisms carry with them an unspoken wish: for change, for recognition, for closeness, or for care.
It might sound like, ‘You never listen’, but what’s really being said is, ‘I want to feel heard.’

Or, ‘You always forget’, could be masking, ‘I want to know I matter to you.’

This quote invites us to listen differently. To hear not just the words, but the need behind them.

Doing this gives us choices. It helps us see the soul behind the words and respond more calmly.

That doesn’t mean we have to accept how the message was delivered.

If criticism is harsh, vague, or disrespectful, it’s okay and important to say:

‘I want to understand what you need, but I’d like you to express it differently.’

Not all criticism is helpful. But some can reveal what matters most - to them, or to you.

Research conducted by Koudenburg et al. (2024) for the European Journal of Social Psychology suggested that the people we regularly interact with help co-construct our self-concept.

We absorb values, habits, and even thought patterns from those around us. It's called social mirroring, and it's one of the key ways we learn who we are.

Emotionally supportive friendships activate the same brain regions involved in safety and regulation, helping us feel more secure and grounded in a chaotic world.

So when you feel more yourself around certain friends, it's not a coincidence. You're quite literally becoming through them.

Who are the friends who reflect your best self back to you?

Tag them or share this to remind them how much they matter 🤍

You might have days where you drop the ball, snap at someone, forget something important, or feel like you're falling behind.

That doesn’t make you any less worthy.

You’re still deserving of love, even when you’re not at your best.

Even when you’re struggling, you still belong.

This quote reminds us that belonging isn’t something you have to earn or perform your way into.

It’s something you already deserve, even on your hardest days.

21/08/2025

Courage isn’t always loud or obvious.

Quiet acts of courage are a big deal, as every time you honour your boundaries or listen to your needs, you're building your capacity to trust yourself again.

Perfectionism isn’t about ‘high standards.’
It’s often a response rooted in fear, shame, and the belief that your worth depends on getting things exactly right.

Perfectionism forms in environments where love or safety feels conditional. Over time, that turns into an inner voice that says: ‘Be perfect or you’re not enough.’

And our nervous system doesn’t respond to an inner critic with clarity or performance, it gives us anxiety, or shutdown.

Self compassion is the antidote to perfectionism (and ironically leads to better performance).

As Dr. Kristin Neff teaches, self compassion isn’t about being passive - it’s about actively creating emotional strength when you're on struggle street.
So how do we shift from perfectionism to something healthier without ‘lowering our standards?’

Redefine success as process, not perfection

Perfectionists fixate on the outcome, which fuels anxiety and avoidance.

Self-compassionate performers focus on engagement, effort, learning, and presence.

When mistakes happen (and they will), compassion lets you recover faster.

Research shows self-compassionate people are more likely to take responsibility and improve over time.

Talk to yourself like a mentor, not a drill sergeant

The inner critic believes shame will push you forward. It doesn’t.

It just creates internal chaos.

Self-compassion sounds like: ‘This is hard, and I’m doing the best I can right now.’ It creates space to reflect and adapt, rather than collapse under pressure.

We don’t have to give up our ambitions.

Self-compassion fuels sustainable excellence. It creates an inner climate where we can risk, learn, recover and grow🤍

When someone says, ‘I don’t need anyone’, it might sound strong; but underneath, there can be a quieter story.

Maybe it’s about fear of being let down, or protecting yourself from getting hurt again.

Maybe it’s feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to reach out.

It takes courage to admit we want to be held and supported.

It’s okay to be both strong and start to acknowledge our fear and longing at the same time.

17/08/2025

Sometimes the fear isn’t that we need too much. It’s that we’ll be too much for someone else.

That fear comes from somewhere.

Maybe, you’ve been shut down before. Or maybe you were praised for being ‘easygoing,’ or ‘strong’ even when you were struggling.

Over time, your nervous system learns. It adapts. And even now, your body may still remember that reaching out felt dangerous. Painful.

This is especially true when key people in your life were emotionally unavailable, dismissive or overwhelmed.

But you were never wrong to seek support from your tribe. It’s a form of healthy interdependence.

Something we all need.

It can feel scary at first, but with the right people, your body starts to unlearn the fear.

You begin to feel safe showing up as a tribe member again!

They won’t see you as too much.

They’ll see you as human deserving of care, and feel closer to you in the process.

Every now and then, what we really need is just to hear some gentle, kind words.

These sentences are like little hugs for tough moments, something you can tell yourself, or share with someone who might need it 🤍
