Notice What You’re Not Noticing
Stuck, solved, simplified, and thriving: The everyday and extraordinary
We’re often stuck because we’re blind to the things we don’t notice. Call it a blind spot, a paradox, or the power of selective attention. It’s not failure. It’s just life.
But here’s the thing, noticing what you’re not noticing isn’t magic, it’s clarity, focus, and curiosity. It’s the beginning of solving what’s holding you back.
At and., we don’t fix problems.
Fixing is temporary.
Solving? That’s the real work.
Feeling Like a human post-it?
Being stuck is being in the stickiness of life. Embracing stickiness is really the first step and recognising where its stickiness shows up the next, is easy but not always the easiest to solve.
Ever feel like you’re running in circles? You’ve got ideas, ambition, and drive, yet something invisible is holding you back.
That’s stickiness—the mental or emotional glue keeping you stuck.
Stuck and sticky normally sit within the word change. Change is an instant defence mechanism that can trigger many into retracting and negative inner dialogue or I am not good enough, they don’t like me, I can’t do this or that, I should be this or that which then is self-fulfilling as we then go into the cycle of doom and sticky stuckness! Ever been there?
The good news? Stickiness isn’t permanent. It’s a signal, not a sentence.
Stuck on a spin cycle?
Ultimately, we need to survive to thrive.
So, what keeps you going?
What survival loops do you find yourself in?
And more importantly, how do you thrive?
Is your BS radar turned on?
Self-awareness is key; we can hide, ignore, override, assume, and even lie to ourselves just to survive.
Own your mind and own your life;
you need to know how to fuel it.
Surviving is what our brains are wired for—biologically, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
You know what to do, how to do it, and why it matters… yet often, you don’t.
You stay in the same loops, repeating what you wish you’d leave behind. It’s simpler that way, isn’t it?
Familiar, validating, and safe. Your brain tells you, “I knew this would happen,” and boom—you feel justified, even if it’s in staying stuck.
This isn’t random.
