One lesson that allowed me to roar!

roar! tame the bully Jul 17, 2019

There is one lesson I have learned over the last couple of years that has helped me move forward much faster than I could have imagined, it is this : 

Show up as the BEST version of yourself every day, your most authentic self.

The biggest question for me a couple of years ago was HOW?

How to take care of me so I deliver on a professional level and in my private life. 

I remember going on holiday with my gorgeous husband and our boys, we stayed in this amazing villa and I remember sitting in the sun by the pool feeling happy for the first time in a long time. We had been relaxing, eating fantastic food and enjoying each others company. I really started to unwind and take in the fresh air and beautiful surrounds. Seeing the boys having fun made me smile, one of those huge smiles that emanated from inside my soul.

The morning sun streaming into our room, the cool breeze from the ocean, the calm water and the pull of the sea ... all things that reminded me I was alive! that I had so much life to live and so much to give ... and a beautiful family that deserved my undivided attention. 

I felt a flicker of hope inside.

My heart beating in my chest.

I could feel the fog lift as I floated on my back in the sea that day, I allowed the stress to leave my body and it was right there I realised how much I was struggling on a physical, emotional and mental level. Every ounce of energy had been squandered on survival I had forgotten how fabulous it felt to be free and happy in my skin. 

For the first time in a long time, I let the sunshine in ... 

MORE OF THIS !! is what I need I mused and right there and made the decision to enjoy every moment with my boys. They were growing up so fast and I knew I had to choose to LIVE in the moment from every day forward. To be present and connected with them and those around me.

This is my greatest challenge ...

Being kind is my mission ...

Without this focus and commitment, there is no way we can see kindness at home, at work or in the environment we live in. 

With this in mind, I now prioritise time for me to recharge my batteries and take some time out to do the fun things in life. That's what it is about for me and why I do what I do. 

The reason I've shared this is that I know first hand how important it is for each of us to take care of ourselves first. My journey has led me along an interesting path and realising that the way we walk and talk and tackle the challenges that face us is our choice ...
