Tuning In
Part of my healing journey has been focused on tuning in. Tuning into my body, my mind, emotions, physical and spiritual energy. How many people, when they feel depressed, go numb? That’s our brains protecting us from feeling it. It is switching everything off and going into survival mode. While that serves a purpose for…

Choosing Me
I have always been a hard worker and pushed myself to build a successful career. I understand now that I was always trying to prove myself. To prove to anyone that doubted me because I didn’t go to university, or know what I wanted to do straight away. Let’s be honest, I was mostly trying…

My Journey
It’s been a long time since I shared a blog on my journey. Whenever I started to write something real, with the view of sharing, I felt spirituality blocked. There was a part of me that didn’t want to share my journey here, for fear of people reading who are no longer in my life.…

Look Back
Look back, look forward, stay present. I love a good motivational quote. I’ve expressed before how Pinterest is one of my coping tools. There is one that comes up a lot which is “don’t look back, you’re not going that way”. Now, I get it, I do. There is another quote about living in the…

Procrastination
Hello fellow warriors! Just checking in 💜 Is anyone else feeling like a big barrel of ‘I don’t know’ at the moment? I feel like my brain is going at 1000mph and there are so many things I want to do or need to do, but instead… I do nothing. I get so overwhelmed with…

You are not alone
I haven’t written a blog in over a year. After writing so much (even if I didn’t always share) this seems so odd. It’s not that I suddenly got all healed and didn’t need to. I actually stopped writing because honestly, with everything that was/is going on in the world, I never felt like my…

The Importance of Sharing
Yesterday I had a difficult mental health day. I woke up later than intended, so that was a great start. I quickly showered and started to get ready for work. At the moment I am not feeling confident enough to go to the office without make up, so the getting ready part takes longer. This…

Knowing, Respecting and Loving Yourself
A huge part of my recovery and my growth as a person has been learning all about myself. I have a greater understanding of myself today than I ever could have imagined possible previously. I am far more able to understand and identify my feelings, triggers, emotional blocks. I am able now to acknowledge that…

First blog post
First ever blog post! Now this is scary. At any one time there will usually be what feels like a million thoughts buzzing around my head. Sometimes I write them down, sometimes I type them on my phone, just to get them out of my head. Well now I’ve decided to put those thoughts out…
