𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳

𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗻𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀.
One day you might feel okay.
The next, it can hit like it’s just happened.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 – 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀.
We move between moments of pain and moments of living, and both matter.

𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵.
It can come from losing:

a relationship

your health

a job

a part of your identity

even a dream you once had.

𝗜𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗮𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿, 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 – 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳.
All of it is human. All of it is valid.

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳, 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘁:

1. 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 – no rush, no deadline.

2. 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 – without judgement.

3. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 – eat, rest, move your body.

4. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 – to friends, family, a counsellor, or a support group.

5. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗱 – photos, stories, rituals… love doesn’t stop, it changes shape.

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 “𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘁.” You can learn to carry it differently.
One breath, one moment, one day at a time.

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗘 𝗩𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗟
Why you “lose your sh*t” — and how to stop it before it starts.

You’re like a sealed vessel. Inside, you carry everything — stress, emotions, pressure, tension, thoughts, memories, worries, and hopes.

Each day, water pours in. Some of it’s from little things — bad sleep, rushing around, arguments, skipped meals. Some comes from bigger things — burnout, grief, overwhelm, and feeling unsupported.

As the water level rises, so does the pressure.

And when it gets too high?

You vent. You snap. You shut down. You feel anxious or low. You overreact. You zone out. You say or do things that don’t feel like you.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲:
It’s not just a pressure vessel — it’s your Pleasure Vessel.

It holds everything you feel. If you want space for peace, fun, and connection — you have to release the build-up regularly.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹?

Poor sleep

Constant noise or stimulation

Bottled-up emotions

Skipping meals or eating junk

Carrying responsibility for everyone else

Never slowing down

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲?

Daily reflection or journaling

Meditation or breathing techniques

Eating proper, nourishing food

Getting a full night’s sleep

Moving your body — even a walk

Having healthy boundaries

Making time to just be

It’s not about being perfect — it’s about staying regulated.

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹.
Is your vessel near full?

You don’t have to wait until it explodes.

You can release a little every day — and give yourself space to feel calm, grounded, and in control again.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗪 𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗢𝗥𝗬
If you want to grow, you need the right environment — just like a plant.

Imagine walking into a professional grow room — the kind used to grow cannabis. Everything in that room is carefully controlled:

The lighting is precise

The airflow is balanced

Nutrients are measured

Temperature is regulated

Watering is consistent

Why? Because even the best seed can’t grow in the wrong conditions.

Now ask yourself:
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 "𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗺" 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲?
Because you are the plant. And many of us are trying to grow in environments that work against us.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁:

𝗦𝗼𝗶𝗹 – Your foundation (upbringing, mindset, beliefs)

𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 – What energises you (people, goals, inspiration)

𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 – Sleep, food, rest, physical and emotional nourishment

𝗔𝗶𝗿 – Space to breathe, reflect, and be present

𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 – Your structure and daily systems

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗽𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 – Negative habits, self-sabotage, toxic people

We often blame ourselves for struggling, when in reality, the problem isn’t 𝘆𝗼𝘂 — it’s your environment.

You don’t need more willpower. You need better conditions.

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁:

Where in my life do I feel drained?

What routines or people are helping me grow?

What’s missing from my environment?

When you change your environment, you change the outcome.

𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲.
You’re allowed to build a life that supports your growth — not just your survival.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐎𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 🙏

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who came down to the SOBER meeting yesterday. It was really great to receive your company, your honesty, and your conversation. These meetings are such a powerful reminder that we’re not alone — and that connection is a key part of healing.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝟕𝐩𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦. If you’re unsure where to go, need a bit of support, or even just want to sit and listen, you’re more than welcome.

You don’t have to face things on your own. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞. 💙

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀.

It doesn’t matter what colour the door is, how big the house is, or how much money someone has — we’re all affected by the same things in life.
Grief.
Low self-confidence.
Abuse.
Trauma.
Mental health.

No one is immune. No matter your background or where you are in life, we’re all shaped by our experiences — the things we’ve lived through, the pain we’ve carried, and the battles we’ve fought in silence.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄.
Not judged by their past.
Not dismissed because “someone else has it worse.”

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹.
What feels heavy for one person might seem small to another — but that doesn’t make it any less valid.

We’ve all got different ways of coping, different levels of stress we can handle, and different stories that brought us here.

𝗦𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆.
Empathy for what people are carrying.
Empathy for how they’re coping.
Empathy for who they are in this moment.

𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆.
𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱

𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗶𝘁!

At some point, you’re going to have to walk through it.
The stuff you’ve been avoiding.
The pain you’ve buried under being busy, distracted, numb.
The memories, the guilt, the fear, the shame — all of it.

You can’t outrun what’s inside you.
It catches up — in your relationships, in your habits, in the way you self-sabotage the good things because deep down, you don’t think you deserve them.

If you want love, you’re going to have to let go of the version of you that learned to survive without it.

If you want trust, you’ll need to risk getting hurt.

If you want peace, you’ll need to face the noise you’ve kept locked away.

And yeah — it’s going to be uncomfortable.
Because real growth isn’t neat or tidy. It’s brutal and beautiful.
It breaks you open before it rebuilds you.

Maybe the reason you haven’t got what you want yet…
Is because there’s a part of you that’s still scared to face what needs to be faced.

But here’s the truth:
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be brave enough to start.

No mask. No filter. Just honesty.
Even if it hurts. Especially if it hurts.

This isn’t a motivational quote.
This is a reminder that if you're feeling lost, tired, or stuck — it doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It means you’re right on time.
Right on the edge of something real.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀

Sometimes we underestimate the value of the simple stuff — getting out of bed on time, brushing our teeth, having something to eat, taking a few minutes to reflect or meditate.

They don’t take much energy. They’re not groundbreaking. But when done consistently, they form the backbone of a resilient mindset.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 — 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘂𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱.

Even on your worst days, you can still look back and say:
𝗜 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆.
𝗜 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝘆𝗴𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗲.
𝗜 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆.
𝗜 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁.

And that matters.
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽.
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗺 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗯𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 — 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁.

There’s power in knowing that even if everything else went sideways, you still did something good for yourself.

It’s not about perfect days.
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳, 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀.

That’s what moves us forward.
