The Simplified Self

Hi everyone,

I’ll be taking a break from posting here for a bit.

I love this space, and the comments and messages you share with me, the ones that say this is exactly how I feel, mean more than you probably know.

This isn’t goodbye. Just some space, for now. 🤍

Thank you for being part of this.

It’s rarely the big stuff that wrecks you by 9pm.

It’s usually the constant mental load.

Here’s what I want you to know. You’re not coping badly. You’ve been holding a lot for a long time, and nobody’s ever told your body it’s allowed to stop.

So tonight, let it stop for a bit. Drop your shoulders. Breathe out slower than you breathed in. Let your body believe, even just for a minute, that it’s safe to stand down. 🤍

Ever wondered why your brain can replay something embarrassing from ten years ago…but somehow forget where you put your phone five minutes ago?

This one’s for you 👇

Somebody is going to be a little disappointed in you this week.

Let them. 🤍

Not because you don't care. But because somewhere along the way, being a good person meant never letting anyone down.

So, we say yes when we mean no and we rearrange our whole day just so someone else doesn't have to feel the smallest bit put out. Then we apologise for things that were never actually a problem in the first place.

Letting someone down and being a good person were never actually opposites. A lot of us just grew up believing they were.

It's okay to disappoint someone and still be a good person. 🫶

You've checked your phone roughly 96 times today.

Made somewhere between 200 and 300 decisions.

Processed more information than a person in 1995 would encounter in a week.

And you wonder why your brain doesn't want to do one more thing tonight.

Let yourself have the quiet. 🫶

Truly one of the great unpaid multitasking achievements of modern life.

And no trophy. I think I want one. 😂

How about you?
