If you leave west London via the M3, drive past the medieval town of Winchester, take a left at Peppa Pig World and pootle on for 37 miles, you arrive at the small Dorset hamlet of Shitterton.

Shitterton has an unusual claim to fame.

A while back, the residents found themselves at the centre of a bizarre crime spree:

All the local signs which proudly announced “Shitterton” started to get stolen.

I’m not sure if the signs ended up on Ebay or whether the thieves kept hold of them for shittertons and giggles.

But I do know that as more signs got pinched, the Shitterton locals decided enough was enough.

They took matters into their own hands and carved “Shitterton” into a 1.5 ton block of stone. Then they installed the stone with a crane just outside the hamlet.

In the words of Ian Ventham, the chairman of the local parish council:

"We’d get a nice new shiny sign from the council and five minutes later, it was gone. 

So we thought, 'Let's put in a ton and a half of stone and see them try and take that away in the back of a Ford Fiesta’”

Thing is, the Shitterton locals could’ve kept playing the sign replacement game for years.

But they decided to put an end to that nonsense for good.

In many ways, the sign replacement game is no different to downloading the latest meditation app when the previous five haven't worked or deciding to change careers because work is stressful, then realising your stress has followed you to your next job.

i.e. these are all tiring and temporary solutions.

A better strategy?

Installing your own inner "block of stone" and creating something so solid at your core that it simply can't be taken away.

I won't pretend I've got this all figured out myself. 

But I do know that when I stopped playing the replacement game, shifted focus to my own inner groundedness and connected with a more solid sense of who I am, I found more peace than I'd had in years.

I can help you do the same.

If you’re ready to step off the merry-go-round and tap into something solid, here’s where to go:
