What voice do you mostly hear in your head?
Is it definitely yours or is it one you heard when you were growing up?

Is it a kind, loving and support one or is it a critical, harsh, judgemental one?

Does it cheerlead and encourage you or does it fill you with doubt and worry?

When we recognise it and realise we have a choice of whether or not we listen to it, we begin to change our beliefs about ourselves and our outlook on life.

We can also take responsibility for how we speak and interact with our children & young people.

Because their internal voice is the one they listen to when they’re growing up…and that’s US; the adults around them. Are we building them or pulling them down?

So the next conversation you have with yourself today and a child or young person in your life, pause and be aware of the voice you’re using and listening to.

It’s not ok what they did.
You are allowed to feel EVERY single emotion.
You are allowed to go away and spend some quiet time with yourself tending to your wounds.

Some of us continue to do this for evermore. We replay the hurt over and over again. We get stuck in the story of ‘what they did to us’.

Whilst it’s healthy to spend time licking our wounds, there comes a time when we’re ready to get back up again, build our strength and move through it.

This is part of the healing journey.

If we don’t do this, we get stuck in the ‘tending the wound’ part and what we inadvertently do is keep the wound open. We enter a cycle which goes on and on.

Ultimately this cycle not only disturbs our minds but it also manifests physically. Our bodies begin to give us signs that something is ‘up’ that we’re slightly ‘off track’.

Our bodies know that the wound Isn’t being healed by this ‘stuckness’

When my 24year marriage ended suddenly, I was devastated, my heart hurt and I thought I was beyond repair.

But I soon realised that like all wounds, it needed time and it could and would get better.

I was determined not to make things worse or to make myself ill by getting stuck in a loop of replaying the pain of past hurt.

I began to focus in my living breath, my very strong beating heart and repeatedly bringing myself back to the present moment whenever I found myself living in the past.

Healthy recovery is your innate ability….you do not need to let this life event define the rest of your life.

I’m so grateful for this lovely feedback from a student who attended a presentation I gave on Anxiety last week.
She was brave enough to ask a question afterwards and we had a chat about what she was dealing with. One week on and she’s feeling more confident and happier just being herself… I’ve got to admit receiving this has brought happy tears to my eyes 🥺😍🤗
