When you believe that something in your life is making you unhappy you're likely to start comparing yourself to others, make changes to your appearance, and question everything in your life, which means that you get stuck in a spiral of negative thinking and try to run away from how you're feeling.
What if you could feel confident and happy in who you are?
When you change the way you feel about yourself, when you learn and accept yourself as you are, you are able to become self-confident and feel happy.
And this is exactly what I did.
What changed for me was when I realised I didn't need to change anything externally. I needed to work on how I felt about myself. That’s what really needed to change. I was so critical of how I looked, I questioned who I was and doubted everything I did and said.
Things changed when I started turning down the outside noise, and worked on building a loving relationship with myself. Because the truth of it is, you are at the centre of your world. And how you show up in your relationships and in your life, all comes back to you, and how you feel about yourself.
So what steps did I take…
I started moving my body. This sounds so simple, but we get so caught up in our minds, thinking, and thinking, and more thinking, that sometimes we need to try and snap ourselves out of it, and move our body. Which helps us physically shift off tension, and release all those happy chemicals in the body.
I began to meditate and journal to grow self-awareness so that I could understand what was actually going on with me. And stopped trying to run from it.
I started to notice and challenge negative thinking, and replaced it with positive affirmations. Showing gratitude for myself, and my life.
I began to expand my way of thinking, learning about spirituality, and connecting with people that were wanting to develop and grow.
I’ve been on this journey for about 9 years now, and I’ve taken training to delve deeper into my own transformation, and somewhere along the way I’ve had this huge calling to help other women who feel the same as I once did.
It’s completely understandable that you might not know what's ‘wrong’ with you. We live in a world that wants quick fixes. We buy products/ clothes, change our appearance, question our relationships and lives, and point at everything in our life to understand why am I not happy? There's nothing ‘wrong’ with you or your life. You’ve just been led to believe that there is.
