Meaningful change begins with awareness, not from forcing ourselves into a different shape straight off the bat.

In all honesty, that’s often not a viable option anyway! And sets us up to feel change is out of reach if we fail to shape shift immediately.

A great way to heighten your self awareness at this first-step-stage can be to;

Label ‘The Thing’ out loud/or on paper each time you notice it’s presence

E.g

”I’m having the thought that X doesn’t like me”

“Here is my ‘It Must Be Perfect’ feeling again”

“Im eating this whole row of TimTam’s because I feel lonely”

Noticing your thoughts and feelings or patterns, without immediately trying to fix or change them, opens the door to new ways of responding later 🤍

Ever catch yourself thinking "Why do I keep doing this to myself?" You're definitely not alone in that particular head-scratch moment!

It's so common to notice ourselves falling into the same patterns or behaviours, even when we know they're not exactly helping us feel better (and might actually be making things worse).

Cue the confusion and frustration… your brain's basically like "Really? Again?"

But there's actually a pretty clever reason behind it all.

Many of these repeated behaviours started out as ways to protect yourself from pain, overwhelm, or particularly tricky emotions that you really don’t want to sit with.

Maybe staying away from difficult situations felt like the safest option back then. Or saying yes to everyone seemed like the best way to keep relationships. Maybe holding back your feelings when things got tense helped you avoid those big emotional blow-ups that felt too overwhelming to handle.

Your past self was honestly doing their best with what they had. These strategies might have been your lifeline back then.

When we can understand why we keep repeating these familiar responses (without giving ourselves a hard time about it), we create space to gently explore some new ways that actually support who we're becoming.

Here's the thing about shame… it's sneakier than guilt and way more personal.

Guilt says ‘I did something bad’. Shame whispers "I am bad." And that whisper deeply shapes how we see ourselves.

Shame loves to work in the shadows, convincing us we're fundamentally flawed or unworthy of love and acceptance.

It's like having a particularly unhelpful narrator running a constant commentary on our worth. And we’ve become so used to it we don’t even notice it’s there, poisoning how we see our story.

Naming shame for what it is, starts to loosen its grip.

When you can spot it operating, you get a chance to question those sneaky beliefs, and test them with what psychology calls the ‘wise mind’ part of yourself.

This creates space for self-compassion, understanding, and rewiring the patterns of thought that sustain shame.

18/09/2025

Shame whispers ‘you're not good enough’... then convinces you to keep it quiet.

It makes you pull back from people and doubt your worth.

Know that shame's power comes from silence and secrecy.

You are worthy of care, connection, and being seen even when shame is doing its best to convince you otherwise.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is let someone trustworthy see the real you, shame and all.

Because shame can't survive when it's brought into the light.

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.
