Today marks day 22 of being sober - three full solid weeks.

That’s the longest I’ve gone without alcohol in… honestly, I don’t even know how long. Definitely since before COVID.

I had a session with Jessie yesterday evening, and when I woke up this morning, something felt different. I did a quick spin session, and mid-ride, this thought popped into my head. I texted Jessie straight away - it just felt significant. 

I like how I can just text Jessie with these thoughts, rather than keep them swirling in this head of mine. It feels good to share them, you know?

During our session, Jessie drew this visual that’s been stuck in my head:

A person with a big red scribble above their head - all the thoughts, beliefs, and stories that cloud who we really are. And right in the centre of the person, she placed a small blue dot - our core. The calm knowing. The quiet truth. Some call it God, others the universe.

And today, I kept asking myself: What would my blue dot do?

Even in small moments - like when I was debating whether to grab a coffee before my meeting even though I was cutting it close. My blue dot said yes (of course it did!)… and I was still on time.

And now, I keep picturing that red scribble and blue dot - not only in myself, but in others too. Imagine if we all listened to our blue dots a little more.

Yesterday I was talking to Jessie about how complex everything seems - money, mindset, health - it’s all buried under mountains of information. But when you strip it back, everything in life really comes down to simple principles.

We humans love to complicate things. And when we don’t fully understand something, we don’t know what to believe. But underneath all the noise, the truth is usually simple.

It’s the same with our minds.

We are not our thoughts. We are the awareness beneath them - that calm blue dot. When we forget that, anxiety and overwhelm take over. But when we return to our centre, things start to make sense again.

And our brains are incredible, right?

We can change. We can rewire. We can break free from old patterns and stories that have kept us stuck for years.

It takes time, yes. But once you start taking small steps in the right direction - the world starts to shift.

That’s what I feel happening now.

I’m learning how my mind really works. I’m seeing through the illusions I built myself. And for the first time in a long time, I believe that change - real, deep change - is possible.

Because it is. 

We can all change.

We can all return to that still, knowing place inside us.

Your blue dot is always there, waiting.  💙
