I haven’t missed many days with Explore IT, but I haven’t been consistent either. Some days I had to set it aside. Other days I tried, really tried, but the hoop kept falling. Literally and metaphorically. The image didn’t land, or the moment passed too quickly. It wasn’t always the right setting, or the right light, or the right feeling.

But here’s what I held on to: this project has never been about perfection. It’s about presence. About returning. About building psychological flexibility. Not just for clients, but for myself.

What if something forgotten in your garage could change how you see the world?

That’s what happened to me. A weathered wooden ring, once part of a large drum, sat tucked away for years. To most, it was just scrap wood. To me, it was a treasure waiting for its moment. That moment arrived when I launched Explore It—a project born not just from creativity, but from a deep craving for structure, accountability, and inspiration.

Ever scrolled through Instagram or TikTok, carefully curating the image you project? Online, it’s easy to shape who we are, highlight our best moments, and filter out the rest. In real life, we do something similar—we wear masks that protect us from judgment, disappointment, or rejection. But how much of what we show, whether online or in person, is truly us?
