Stop begging the world to be gentle. Start building a strength within yourself that makes the external world irrelevant to your internal peace.
The storm is coming. The horizon is waiting. You have the wheel.
The Anchor Habit: Building Stability in an Unstable World
The Anchor Habit: Building Stability in an Unstable World (The Horizon Series, Book 1)
Stop Drifting. Start Steering.
Tired of feeling unmoored, running from conflict and inadequacy? You lack an Anchor, not discipline. This book ends the Reactive Cycle—the exhausting pattern where external events trigger emotional collapse—by giving you a resilient, internal architecture immune to chaos.
The Truth Forged in Chaos: Why This Book is Different
This is not motivational fluff. The Anchor Method was forged by Interventions Coach John Collinge in the high-stakes environment of the UK Prison Service (HMPPS). The truth: stability comes from mastering your response to the storm, not controlling it. Accept the "Cosmic Irony" and claim Radical Responsibility for your trajectory.
The Anchor Method: A 4-Part System for Unshakeable Stability
The Anchor Method is a sequential, actionable framework designed to replace chaos with clarity:
1. Define Your Bedrock (Identity)
2. Calibrate Your Compass (Values)
3. Build the Chain (Habits)
4. Weather the Storm (Resilience)
In This Book, You Will Learn To:
Master the 10-Minute Check-In to prevent a small mistake from spiraling into a catastrophic emotional crash.
Outsmart your brain by understanding the Limbic Hijack and reclaiming strategic thinking from impulse control.

Stop Drifting. Start Steering.
Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by big goals and inconsistent effort? If traditional habit trackers leave you feeling adrift, you need a resilient foundation—you need an Anchor Habit.
This is not just a journal; it’s a structured, 30-day intervention designed by Interventions Coach John Collinge to help you move from debilitating uncertainty to unshakeable calm and focused action.
