Back in 2019, I found myself in a very dark place with my mental health. Finding a way to out of this was a long journey.
At first, I just wanted someone to come and save me; to take me out of the horrible situation I found myself in and tell me what to do to fix it. I quickly learnt that this wasn't the answer. No one could help me if I wasn't going to do the work.
At the time, I was in a toxic workplace feeling like the world was against me. I felt that these things were happening to me and there was nothing I could do about it. My self-esteem was on the floor. I felt like I was drowning and I couldn't find my way to the surface.
Part of my healing journey involved learning to take responsibility for my own thoughts and reactions. I started to see Ali at Bloom and Blend Holistics for EFT, crystal healing and flower remedies, but a big part of our sessions together involved talking. This is where my mindset started to change, and with Ali's help, I learned that I could set myself free from the actions of other people and take responsibility for my own world and who I wanted to be. I remember seeing this quote around the same time. I bought a print and it is still hanging in my hallway to this day.
These words are a daily reminder that I can take control of my own thoughts and in turn, this will have an impact on the world around me. I have the ability to look at things from a different perspective, choose my actions and my reactions, and therefore change the outcome.
This took along time for me to master, I had to put in the work and I am still learning.
How do you take control of your journey?
