On Sunday 10th March 2024, I decided that it was time for a new chapter.

I have spent the majority of my life either depressed, or figuring out how not to be depressed. And over the last few years, I’ve done a lot of research, I’ve read a lot of books and I’ve watched a lot of Ted Talks.

However, 2023 felt like a turning point. After 15 years, I gave up smoking, stopped drinking alcohol and created a consistent work out routine. I have been to the gym three times a week, every week since September. I really learnt how disciplined I could be.

I knew that good things could only come from creating new positive habits. What I didn’t expect was how big the repercussions would be from such small changes. I had tried to quit smoking so many times I lost count. I also lost the hope that it would ever be possible.

A fire had been lit inside me and it raised the question… what is truly possible if I just put my mind to it?

And then on Sunday 10th March 2024, something switched that made me really want to find out what the answer to that question was. It became my day 1.

So this is it. After all the research, books and work about how to become a better version of myself, it’s now time to just start being it. This is my journey to being my higher self.
