I’m feeling quite elated as I write this.
This week has been a great example of how you can turn things around. At the beginning of the week, the black cloud that had been hanging over my head was winning, but in just a few short days and despite the actual black clouds outside, I am feeling full of sunshine and gratitude.
Here’s what went well this week.
I officially launched my freelance business
I’m still in a bit of shock that I have actually done this, to be honest, it doesn’t feel real at the moment. I could not believe the response I received when I shared it on my social media. I honestly feel truly grateful and if I am honest, shocked at how many people actually made the effort to wish me luck, follow my new business and share it with their followers. I feel truly thankful for each and every person that is cheering me on and it reminded me that I do deserve to do well and I also need to be my cheerleader sometimes!
Turning my mood around
It wasn’t just in business that I was pushing myself out of my comfort zone. As I mentioned earlier, my mood at the beginning of the week was really low, but instead of sitting in front of the TV with a tub of ice cream in my dressing gown, like I wanted to, I took myself out on my walks, got myself dressed and sat in the sanctuary working, as I had planned. Each time I went against that niggling voice in my head that wanted to slow me down felt like a small victory and at the end of the first day of doing this, I felt like I won the battle and better still, that voice was less than a whisper.
Another insightful therapy session
My last few therapy sessions have been really really deep. I cry a lot and some things are quite difficult to talk about, but I know that once I speak about them, the weight of carrying them will be lifted and I will feel better. I have learnt not to hide from my feelings and emotions as this only adds to my mental load and eventually will come out in another way, shape or form and usually to something totally unrelated. We all have our demons, I plan to get rid of mine for good.
What went well for you this week? ❤️
