DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU’RE CONSTANTLY FAILING??🙁🙁

I was 16years old waiting for the arrival of my GCSE results with nervous anticipation…I was so nervous I had to open them in the bathroom by myself.

As I scanned the piece of paper for my results, my heart sank - I hadn’t achieved the results I really wanted and in that moment felt like an absolute failure!

I took that feeling with me for the majority of my life. The feeling that I wasn’t intelligent enough to be successful in any job I found myself in. My reality kept confirming my fears because up until the age of 24yrs old I couldn’t keep a job. One HR manager told me as she was sacking me “You’re not cut out for this work, you should go and work in a shop” (nice lady) bearing in mind my job was predominantly filing, NOT searching for the next cure for cancer!

My self esteem and confidence bottomed out over those years to the point it had severe consequences to my mental health - feeling like a failure in everything you do doesn’t make for a fulfilling or satisfying life.

I look back at my 16yr old self with a completely different set of eyes. The years leading up to my GCSE results had been confusing, erratic and at times heartbreaking. I wasn’t concentrating on school work because I was desperately trying to fit in, so I would feel wanted…It wasn’t because I wasn’t intelligent enough, it was just because I was trying to keep my head above water in the environment I found myself in. Even the fact I wanted to prove my intelligence was just so I would feel ‘enough’

It took me years to unravel the invisible wall that held me back, and still is an ongoing process. I have to sooth the harsh critic - reminding it…..it’s job has come to an end, I’m taking the lead from now on!

Because that 16yr old girl had guts, intelligence and bravery, and NO GCSE results can ever replace that.

Instead of just celebrating the facts we are taught to remember. I ask you to see yourself for the whole of you, and not just for the pigeon hole society places on you.

We are all fighting some internal battle, when we bring that fight into the light, and see it for what it is… just the absolute need for connection, we all benefit from the realisation we are all ‘enough’ ❤️

Have a loving, connected day lovely people ❤️

LET YOURSELF OFF THE HOOK, AND
“JUST GET THE TOP MUCK OFF” 💚

When I was younger, my late Grandmother used to say whenever she was cleaning “That’ll do, I’ve got the top muck off”… It always made me giggle because I knew what she meant by saying that.

Those words have stayed with me from being a child, and I often re-play them in my mind when I catch myself trying way too hard!

Because what my very wise Grandmother knew was - that being ‘good enough’ wasn’t about being ‘perfect’……(perfect does not exist btw!) it was about doing enough, so you can enjoy whatever you’re doing, and not be bogged down by the mental chatter of questioning whether you have done a good enough job 🤞

So, when I’m struggling to get the motivation to exercise, or clean the house. I remind myself…exercising in my PJ’s and dressing gown is better than not exercising at all…..and when I’m on cleaning duty, just cleaning the bits I can see that are dirty, is better than exhausting myself cleaning the house to a inch of my life 🧹 or not cleaning at all🫧

So give yourself a break, and remind yourself being perfect is a perfect prison, and to truly live a fulfilling life is to tell yourself…..”That’ll do, I’ve got the top muck off”

Have a wonderfully imperfect day ♥️

For generations, men were taught to “be strong,” to hold it all in, to never ask for help.

But strength isn’t silence - it’s honesty. It’s courage. It’s connection.

This Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s rewrite what it means to be strong. 💙

Let’s normalise:

✔ Asking for help
✔ Going to therapy
✔ Sharing feelings
✔ Feeling emotions
✔ Being comforted

Because being human isn’t a weakness.. It’s what makes you whole.

And every man deserves to feel supported, seen, and enough just as he is. 💫

Labeling someone as “too sensitive” for responding to disrespect is a manipulative tactic that shifts blame. This behavior invalidates genuine feelings and discourages self-advocacy. Recognizing such manipulation is crucial for setting healthy boundaries and protecting self-worth. Respect should be mutual, and emotional responses deserve validation, not dismissal.
