Before anyone says it… NO, the answer to modern life isn’t buying another bloody thing. 😂 I’m actually becoming increasingly wary of “wellness” turning into another enormous shopping list.
You need this gadget.
This supplement.
This biohack.
This special lightbulb.
This pair of glasses...
No. You need to understand WHY first.
Everyone reading this will have a completely different light environment. Some of you will already dim your lights at night, use incandescent bulbs and barely look at a screen after sunset.
Others are spending most of the day indoors under artificial light, then sitting under bright LEDs with a TV, laptop and phone blazing away at 10pm.
That’s the bit I think we need to pay attention to.
Our biology hasn’t suddenly forgotten that day is supposed to look like day and night is supposed to look like night.
We have changed the environment enormously and then wonder why so many people’s sleep and circadian rhythms are all over the place.
Does that mean I’m replacing every bulb in my house overnight and throwing my phone in the bin?
No. 😂 (although I would lOVE to change out all the lights)
I’m making the changes I can, and using tools where they’re useful while I make the bigger ones.
One of those tools for me is my red evening glasses. They’re not going to win me any fashion awards, but I use them when I’m working late, watching something or inevitably looking at my phone when my environment should really be dark.
Don’t start with buying something, though. Start with FREE.
Get outside as early in the day as you can. Get real daylight into your eyes. Get outside around sunset when you can. Dim unnecessary lights in the evening. Make your bedroom properly dark.
Start reminding your biology what time of day it actually is.
And if your lifestyle means artificial light at night is difficult to avoid, that’s when tools can be really useful.
If you’d like the discount code for the glasses I use AND the link to my latest video explaining why light matters so much, comment LIGHT and I’ll send them over.

Well, firstly… look how quickly “Warp Speed” slipped into our everyday vocabulary. 😂
All by design… Whoops, I’ve fallen for that one.
Joking aside, what are you waiting for?
I’m so over the idea that we should sit around waiting for Med Beds, NESARA/GESARA, the next election, the next exposé, the next “big reveal” or our latest hero to come and save us.
Maybe some of it will happen. Maybe it won’t.
I’m not prepared to put my life on hold while I wait to find out.
My children grew up in what feels like the blink of an eye. Parents, friends and animals I thought I’d have more time with are no longer here.
And somehow we’re already talking about 2027.
Life really is passing us by.
There will always be another reason you’re not quite ready. Not enough money. Not enough confidence. Not enough time. Too much going on. Waiting until things calm down. Waiting until the world makes more sense.
Sod being ready.
You don’t need to have the whole bloody thing figured out.
You just need to make a decision that you’re not going to spend another year standing in the same place waiting for something outside of you to change first.
