Who's Holding Your Handbrake?

You know what you want to do. But you can’t bring yourself to do it.

Your chest gets tight, your breathing goes short, and the weakest excuse wins. That’s going small. This free guide gives you six questions to ask in that moment, so you can stop waiting and take the smallest next step.

What’s inside

• The six steps on one page: Observe, Recognise, Calm your body, Shift your mind, Choose, Own it
• A worked example of the six steps, in the moment you’re about to post something and freeze
• A try-it-now prompt to use on something you’ve been avoiding today

Use it when you’re avoiding something: a party, a phone call you’ve rehearsed in your head, an errand you keep moving to tomorrow, or a job so big you can’t see where to start.

3-page PDF. Free.

Want to go deeper? Release the Handbrake is the full guide. It covers what each step feels like when it’s working, what to do when it hasn’t worked yet, the sentences that keep you parked, and a seven-day tracker. US$10.
