Living my life my way, in super hero mode!

What’s good, everyone?! 🔥

I absolutely LOVE spring! There’s something about the longer, brighter days and that first bit of warmth creeping back in that gives me an energy surge like no other. 🌞

Now… have you heard of the KETO diet?

I’ve been giving it a go for the past 6 weeks. Since getting sober and watching my life piece itself back together, I’ve been diving deeper into how much what we eat affects how we feel. I wanted to do even more for myself, physically and mentally.

But rather than talk about it – I became my own lab rat. 🧪 I tested it all on myself, no shortcuts.

And let me tell you… it’s been eventful! That journey led me to read Ultra-Processed People (highly recommend!) and right now, at 42 years old, I genuinely feel the strongest I’ve ever been.

Here’s the thing though — there are levels to personal development and you are exactly where you’re meant to be right now. EVERYTHING is experience. People always say "It’s a journey" — but when you learn how to truly appreciate YOUR journey, you stop fighting it, play to your strengths, and start understanding why you’ve made certain choices in the first place.

And if you know me, you know I’m not the guy to sugar-coat things or hand out excuses. I’ll always tell people straight: take responsibility, do better. But today, I’ve got a slightly different message for you…

What if it WASN’T all your fault? What if everything that’s happened — the setbacks, the mistakes, the bad habits — all had to happen to get you exactly to this point? So now… YOU get to decide how the rest of it goes. 🚀

What if all of it was just to bring you to the place where you finally ask: "What now?" And once you get clear on that, you start moving in that direction.

Here’s my ‘What now’:

✅ I’ve had an incredible life, but now… I prioritise ME.

✅ The people-pleaser version of me? He’s in the back seat.

✅ The wiser version, the one who wants to live to his full potential, is the one turning up now.

✅ While I figure out exactly what that looks like, I’m making my body stronger, fuelling myself properly, and understanding why I eat the way I do.

Wherever you’re at today — ask yourself:

What’s my ‘What now’?

The rest is yours to write. ✍🏽
