DO YOU SUPPORT YOUR WELL-BEING?<br />
After I had M.E and low mood for 11 years and wanting my life<br />
to end, I transformed my well-being with the help of a<br />
Hypnotherapist. Now, as a Therapist and Wellness Coach<br />
myself, I support many people to change their lives which I<br />
find a privilege.<br />
I think that our well-being relates to how we feel about<br />
ourselves, our experiences and our lives and it promotes<br />
positive physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. This<br />
includes what we think our purpose in life is, what gives our<br />
life meaning, how resilient we are to challenges that are<br />
presented to us and how we react to them and if we then turn<br />
them into positive opportunities for us to grow as a person.<br />
What does well-being mean to you?<br />
I regularly review my well-being and my goals by scoring how<br />
fulfilled I feel about each area of my life. I write myself a<br />
‘promise’ letter to commit to how I am going to care and<br />
support myself.<br />
So often we are hard on ourselves and keep pushing<br />
ourselves (I made myself ill) without seeing the bigger picture<br />
of our lives; I definitely do not want to be old and look back<br />
and think why did I not do what I love doing?<br />
Five years ago, I left my husband and my career ended and I<br />
started a whole new life in Norfolk! I was petrified of doing this<br />
but I found strength in myself and I am so happy and well now.<br />
It is fear that stops us doing so many things in our lives or that<br />
we do not ‘feel good enough’ etc. Once you let go and trust<br />
life you can really start to live! So; what do you want to do?<br />
