Are you noticing & collecting the little joys?

The perfect parking spot
The first cuppa of the day
A robin landing nearby
Finding £1 in the washer
A smile from a stranger
A cracking crystal in a charity shop 😁...

They might not be life changing

But each one can change the course of your day

27/07/2026

I'm still smiling about that crystal...

Not because it's expensive

Not because it's rare

But because it was one of those unexpected little moments that just makes your day

(And because it's very, very pretty 😁)

And let's face it... how much time do we tend to spend thinking about all the little things that go wrong?

But

When something nice happens...

Do we really spend time to actually enjoy it?

Or do we rush straight on to the next ordinary part of our day?

I think we spend enough time dwelling on the rubbish

So instead, I've decided to stay a bit longer in my little bubble of crystal joy

Because

Why not?!

The whole charity shop crystals situation got me thinking...

It's funny what we file away as "just one of those things"

That thought that just jumps in uninvited...

"I never win anything"

"I'm always the one..."

"Things like that don't happen to me" etc etc

And it's not like we're trying to be negative

We're just repeating something we've told ourselves so many times that we stop noticing we're saying it

This week
If you noticed yourself saying

"Not me"

I really hope you paused for just a second & asked

"Why not"

24/07/2026

Things like that never happen to me...

Funny how we can convince ourselves of things without even noticing

For years, I'd see people in the US posting about the crystals they'd found in thrift stores and think...

"Things like that never happen to me"

Then this week, I walked into a little charity shop... and there they were

It wasn't really about the crystals
It was about catching myself
A realisation

I'd accepted something as fact that wasn't actually a fact at all

And it made me wonder...

What else have I decided "isn't for me"...
without ever questioning it?

How many times do we write ourselves out of the story before it's even begun?

So here's one to think about over the weekend...

Have you ever caught yourself saying
"Things like that never happen to me"?

And if you have...

Have you ever asked yourself
Actually, why not? 🤔

22/07/2026

I've seen countless posts about amazing crystals people have found in US thrift stores & yard sales

I'd quietly decided that just wasn't something that happens over here in the UK

"Things like that just don't happen to me"

Then
The last stop of a disappointing shopping trip...

A glass cabinet, in a UK charity shop, containing a selection of lovely donated crystals

I'd already spotted a sphere that I fancied but

As I waited for the cabinet to be opened, a darker sphere at the back gently caught the light & glistened ✨

A beautiful smoky quartz sphere

Well, of course it had to come home with me! 😁

And I realised I'd been believing a story I'd never even consciously chosen

What story have you been believing without realising it?

20/07/2026

"Things like that never happen to me"...

How often do you rule yourself out
Before life even has a chance to surprise you?

Things like...
The parking space
The perfect bargain
Meeting the right person
Finding a new direction...

Maybe this week, every time you hear yourself thinking

"Not me..."

Try replacing it with...

"Why not?"

Can you keep your eyes peeled? 👀
(And your ears, nose, tongue, & fingers too)

A little weekend challenge for you

To notice something you wouldn't ordinarily pay any attention to

A cloud
Birdsong
A scent
The actual flavours in your food or drink
How soft the grass feels
The way someone smiled at you...

- you get the gist

Just notice what you notice

And give yourself a bonus point
If you also notice how it made you feel

Let me know how you get on
💖

17/07/2026

Once you notice something

Whether it's what's going on around you
Or what's going on within you...

You get a choice

That's where empowerment begins

Before awareness - we react
After awareness - we respond

Reacting to a situation is automatic & very different to actively responding to it

• Notice
• Become aware
• Choose your response

I'm reminding you today...

You get to choose 💖

On Monday, I talked about protecting your energy online

But it got me thinking 🤔

We spend so much time noticing what's happening out there...

We rarely pay attention to what's happening in here 🩷

Have you ever asked yourself?...

• How do I actually FEEL after 20 minutes (or more?- me too!) of scrolling?

• Do certain people or groups leave me feeling lighter or heavier?

• Are there conversations I keep having that never leave me feeling good?

• Are there certain parts of the day that seem to drain me the most?

You might be surprised by what you discover

It's funny what you notice...

Once you start looking 👀

I stayed up on Saturday night to watch the football 🫩

One thing I've noticed during this World Cup, is how much X/ Twitter content has been specifically created to create outrage & division & it would appear every single team has been cheated into/ out of the next round

Obviously these can't all be true...
But this type of content will always drag people into commenting their opinions

The thing is
Not everything deserves your energy

So here is a reminder

You can notice something...

Without arguing
Without sharing it
Without proving you're right

And most importantly...
Without carrying it with you for the rest of the day

The internet is full of people competing for your attention (including me!)

YOU get to choose what deserves your energy

Anyway
This weekend, I've learned that I'm too old to stay up late watching football

This morning I spent a good few minutes looking for my bra...
Which I was already wearing 👀

Wish me luck
And no-one allow me to operate any heavy machinery 😂
