Restoring my soul.

There are times in life when a person must take a time out. Even from the things that they love – so that love doesn’t become resentment. That is what I have done the past few weeks, taken time out to reassess and regroup.

I have been participating in new training and taking a new approach to my mental health recovery program. I have had to make some difficult decisions and not so difficult decisions to make room back in my life for the things that I always say I value.

I cancelled a lot of subscriptions that I had joined, believing that they were the one thing that held the answers to my indecision and lack of direction in my life and career choice. They weren’t and they haven’t held the answer, if anything opening myself up to more and more input from outsiders has just added to my fear, my indecisiveness, my perfection paralysis, and has inhibited my ability to move forward.

I have allowed my limiting beliefs to overtake my common sense and sense of self. I have allowed that nasty angel on my shoulder to steer my narrative and curtail my risk taking. However, thanks to my new updated training in NLP (neurolinguistic pathway) and in applying the practices to myself I feel clearer in my choices and am determined to open new opportunities that I would have ignored six months ago.

The new training will allow me to use NLP with future life coaching clients internationally and nationally. It will also help me to see my full potential. I have rejigged my finances with the self belief that I deserve a healthy financial future alongside a future that holds good mental and physical health.

It has allowed me to view myself the way I see myself without the input or overshadowing of other people’s perceptions. I am most definitely still a work in progress though and I am sure there will be moments when I need to regroup and redirect again. However for the time being I am finally content with the direction I have chosen.

I am also working on my first book and on the creation of a podcast. Both are scary and new to me, but I can either sit on the sidelines waiting for the “right” moment while time goes by. Or I can start and try while the time still goes by.

Do you have a dream you have always wanted to start but you’ve let self doubt or circumstance stop you. I’m here to tell you do that thing – times awasting – you won’t regret it.
