THE ART OF SELF JOURNAL

You bump into them in the street You see them at a gathering You see a photo of them on fb or Instagram And you start to play the comparison game. The thoughts fly in from all directions, You start to doubt yourself, point out all that is wrong with you and all that is right with them. If only you looked like, sounded like, had those things, lived there etc etc Ahhhh what a killer of self. Grab all those thoughts, roll them in a ball And drop kick that shit so far from your

What do you desire in life? As you walk through your working day,
 As you sit with a cuppa at the end of the day,
 And when you rest your head at night, 
 What comes to your mind, what desires do you dream about and wish for to be true in your world. 
 Those desires that when you think of them, you feel every cell in your body wake up and dance. Listen to them, Keep them in your mind, Focus on them, 
 Feel yourself doing and having just as you visualise, as if they were alrea

There’s dreaming and then there’s dreaming…. I’m a dreamer, a big dreamer at that. Always have been…always will be. I love dreaming of what my life could look like, will look like, Dreaming of all the goals I want to conquer in my lifetime. Yet last night I found myself drifting off to fantasy land, Dreaming of a relationship that I don’t have, that I won’t have. Dreaming up different scenarios on how it looked, what it felt like, what it would be like…if only. During that ti

WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR NORMAL TO BE? What others class as normal, doesn’t mean it is. Just because the majority of people are doing, saying, being or having something, Doesn’t mean it has to be normal for you. I remember going to a Dr Libby evening a few years ago now and she mentioned that having period pains (don’t worry this isn’t a post about menstrual cycles) isn’t normal, Yet we all accept it to be, because we’ve been told that it’s normal and many experience this often.

From a happy, self assured young girl To a timid, full of shame and lack of confidence young adult, Back to a confidant, content, self assured woman. Life happened for me, not to me. My experiences were all brought on simply by my choices in life, My choices were what slowly depleted me of my goodness, yet taught me soooo much about life, people, myself. So I made a decision to take it all back and become me again. If I could turn into someone I wasn’t really meant to be, I k

I was 18 when I became a mum for the first time and 31 the second time round. So I’ve experienced being a young mum and an older mum. Becoming a Mum for the first time, never scared me, I never thought of what could go wrong, I just trusted the process and to me my body was made to do this and it did. And when things got tough such as baby crying, getting sick etc, I just rolled with it. Some would say I was naive, being so young… maybe, but its also just my nature. Becoming

Start getting intimate with yourself! Find new ways to learn more about who you are, what you enjoy, and what makes you tick. There is no way other people can truly get to know you, if you don’t truly know yourself. When we know ourselves, we can start to ask for what we need and want in all the relationships we have…with family, friends and in our intimate relationships. Once you know who you are, you can then communicate that to others. And we all know, communication is the

I remember always wanting to wear shoestring tops, I loved the look of them on other women yet I felt so self conscious just at the thought of wearing one myself. Strange I know...could that feeling even be a thing? Well, yeap it was for me. As a teenager I covered up, head to toe in clothing - that was the trend back then and thank god it was too, as I suffered from really bad acne on my back and chest. I was covered and I really didn’t like this about myself. Good ole teena

I want to see women feel comfortable in their own skin. I want to see them enjoying who they are and making a better life for themselves. To see them living the best version of themselves in every way possible. I want to see them loving their bodies, accepting things they can’t change and doing something about what they can change. Finding a way and letting go of any excuses. I want to see them forgiving themselves, their past, and anyone they feel have hurt them in some way.
