It’s been a weird few months! This is in no way a pity post, it is a realistic and hopefully relatable one.
Iv often suffered with a funky heart and for many years now it’s behaved and caused me no issues. Over the last few months it started up again. Banging, racing heart beat, fluttering skipping beats. Imagine the feeling you get when your falling. Just like that but at random times for no reason.
I had a feeling I knew exactly what was up but needed the docs to help me confirm it. Guess what it is……..
Stress! Bloody stress! The one thing I try so desperately to control.
Admittedly I do have a lot going on behind the scenes but I try so hard to keep things on an even keel. Unfortunately we can’t control the things that go on around us, all we can do is control the way we react to it.
So good news, the ticker is perfectly fine it’s just screaming at me to slow down and take back control.
I wanted to share this to again show that I share what I do because stress and anxiety play a huge part in my life and we all suffer in our own ways. I’m lucky enough to have all the tools I need, so I have literally taken everything back to basics. Treated myself like I would anyone else who would come to me asking for help.
None of us are perfect, no one has it all together all the time (if they have I don’t believe them! Ha) so let’s just all help each other, share our tools, our coping mechanisms and live as calmly and mindfully as we can in this mega hectic and stressful world we all live in.
I have some big decisions to make on how on earth I cut down on all the things I do! I love everything I do and helping others makes me so happy. So bare with whilst I try to figure out how to do this! Ha
Just know that I always try to practice what I preach, I always come from a place of empathy as I know exactly what it’s like to feel stressed, anxious and overwhelmed. We aren’t weak when we go through these stages, we are strong! We are battling through and we must remember that this to shall pass!
Love and light
Steph
