There’s always something else to do first.

A golden compass in warm light. When will you choose yourself?

Dear you,

I wanted to create a post for my business. Suddenly, I remembered that I needed to go grocery shopping.

That needed doing too, right? That was how I explained it to myself. Meanwhile, the post got pushed back again.

For a long time, I didn’t see a pattern. I was simply keeping busy. Now I recognise how easily I distracted myself whenever something felt daunting. The shopping needed doing. But why did it take priority at that particular moment?

There’s always something else to do first.

Maybe you have your own version. Emptying your inbox first. Looking one more thing up. Waiting for a quieter week. And somewhere between all those tasks, your own desire gets put on hold.

The step you want to take. The boundary you want to express. The idea you want to share.

You don’t have to judge yourself for it. You can look honestly: what am I putting off, and what feels daunting about it?

Make ten minutes for yourself today.

Write down what you keep putting off. Then choose one small step: three sentences for that post, the beginning of that plan, or a message to arrange that conversation. Give that step ten minutes today, before moving on to the next distraction.

Notice yourself wanting to avoid it again? Pause. What are you feeling? What are you telling yourself? And which choice do you want to practise now?

This is how I work with The Elevation Method: Awaken — notice what is happening. Release — explore and let go of the story underneath it. Choose — consciously choose one step. Elevate — practise that choice and notice it taking shape in your everyday life.

A daily moment to help you choose.

In Become by Dee, you make space for a check-in, an insight and an exercise. Write in your journal, practise through the growth paths, and save small moments when you chose differently in ‘My evidence of growth’. You can look back on what you have actually practised.

€2.99 per month or €14.99 per year.

Would you like me alongside you?

The Elevation Circle guides you through 30 days of reflection, practical exercises and personal support via chat. You keep lifetime access to the programme content.

In Becoming You, we work together personally for six months, with twelve one-to-one sessions of 75 minutes. You receive your own learning space, tailored exercises and a place to revisit your growth. Twelve months of Become by Dee are included.

Would you like to get to know how I work first? You are welcome in my free community, Elevate Together.

When will you choose yourself?

Your next step doesn’t have to be big. Give it a place in your day.

I don’t wait for proof. I am the proof.

With love,
Dûnja
