You’re already noticing more than you think.

Noticing isn’t a skill to master. It’s a way of remembering how to see.

In partnership with

Welcome to Week Two of The Identity Shift

Last week, we opened the door to the idea that the shift has already begun.

This week, we step through it.

We’re not adding more effort.
We’re learning to trust the part of us that already knows how to pay attention.

You don’t need new eyes.
You need a moment to use the ones you’ve got.

Week-by-Week Progress Tracker

Week 1: The Quiet Shift (Past Issue)
Week 2: The Power of Noticing (You are here)
Week 3: The Stories We Tell Ourselves
Week 4: Becoming the Noticer
Week 5: Living from the Lens
Week 6: The Gentle Return

TL;DR

You don’t have to build the capacity to notice.
You’ve already been doing it in small, almost invisible ways.

Noticing isn’t a task. It’s a lens.
And the more you trust it, the more it reveals.

This week isn’t about sharpening your focus. It’s about remembering that your attention already has power.

When did you start noticing differently?

Maybe it was the moment you realised the silence in the morning wasn’t empty.
Or how a small frustration felt lighter when you stopped trying to fix it.

Maybe it was the first time you noticed your reaction and didn’t act on it.
You didn’t learn that from a book.
You didn’t journal it into being.

You noticed it. And that noticing changed something.

That’s what this week is about. Not a new habit. Not a fresh technique.

Just a small return to the part of you that already sees.

Noticing isn’t a technique

It’s not something to master. It’s something to trust.

You already do it, quietly, instinctively, before the noise starts.

This week is about letting that trust lead.

Identity Anchor of the Week

“I notice what matters without rushing to change it.”

You can use it as a morning anchor.

Not as an affirmation to chant but a reminder to trust how you already see.

This Week’s Practice (CTA)

Pause for three seconds when you catch yourself reaching for your phone.

That’s all.

You don’t need to stop. You don’t need to judge.
Just notice the impulse.

That pause is power.

That’s your attention remembering itself.

Until next week,

Gavin
