My Journey
Still caught in it sometimes. Noticing it much sooner.
I'm Justin, the author of Notice it… don't feed it — A simpler relationship with thoughts and feelings.
I didn't come to this as someone who has it all figured out. I still get caught in it. Still feel frustration, doubt and impatience.
The difference is: I'm noticing it much sooner now, and my life is changing as a result.
Something would happen, and I'd carry it. Think about it again. Replay it. Add to it. And the more I did that, the heavier it felt.
Over time, I started noticing the thoughts, the feelings, and the urge to keep going with them.
I didn't need to stop my thoughts or control my emotions. I began discovering that recognising what was happening could make a difference without having to fight the experience.
They might still be there. But they weren't running everything in the same way.
That's what I wanted to share through the book.
This isn't about becoming calm, controlled or unaffected. There are still moments where I get caught up.
It's much simpler than that. Noticing a bit more often. Getting pulled in a little less.
I've found the more familiar it becomes, the more automatic it becomes to notice.
I'm still discovering how this shows up in my own life, and sharing what I notice along the way.
Notice it… don't feed it.
