A Moment of Honesty

Above Your Baseline wasn’t built just from a desire to help people make better health choices. It was shaped by my own struggles while trying to build a better, more aligned life... and by the realisation that knowing what to do doesn’t always make it easy to do it.

This guide gives context to the AYB approach and mission: to support people who feel stuck, burnt out, or quietly overwhelmed, and who want a way forward that fits real life.

If you’ve felt your own version of that pressure, of wanting more and not understanding why you can't seem to achieve it, this guide was written for you.

What This Guide Actually Is

This isn’t a '7 steps to change your life' booklet.

It’s a simple, honest look at why people get stuck, why change feels hard when life is full, and how small, compassionate steps can slowly shift your baseline.

Part story.
Part psychology.
Part reflection.

Above all, I hope this guide helps you feel seen if you’re going through your own struggles, and reminds you that change is possible... and that more is within your control than it might feel right now.

What's Inside

• Why feeling stuck doesn’t mean something is wrong with you

• Why 'knowing better' isn’t the same as being able to do better

• The AYB Method (3 stages, simple and flexible)

• How small, realistic shifts can change your entire trajectory

• How to approach change in a way that respects your real life

A Bit About Me

I’m Carl, a former soldier turned Health Psychologist.

I’ve lived the extremes: rigid health, burnout, and the climb back out.
I’ve also spent years studying behaviour change and supporting people in therapy who were dealing with their own versions of stress and overwhelm.

AYB exists because of that mix: lived experience + science.

This guide brings the two together.
