Live to inspire, and one day people will say, because of you, I didn’t give up….

I meet so many people through social media, lots of inspirational, brave individuals. People suffering from debilitating conditions, trying to get through each day as best they can. People contact me at the start of their healing journeys, middle or when they have got better, some people keep me updated years after with how they are getting on, which is lovely. What is really touching is the fact they contact me in the first place, reaching out to thank me, to ask me questions etc, its actually a brave thing to do as you are opening up to a stranger.

I had a lovely message the other day from Jake, who I had never spoken to before. He sent me this message.

Motivation….

Motivation….mmmmm, it is sometimes a struggle to get motivated….so what makes you get up in the mornings, what motivates you to get on with your day. What inspires and kick starts you to get moving and on with life? Being a positive person, like myself, does not necessarily mean I have the motivation to get…

Happiness is homemade….what relaxes me….

Where do you feel happiest? Where do you feel secure? I feel happiest at home, I feel at my most secure at home. When my vestibular migraines were at their worst and I was out and about, say at a party, wedding, supermarket etc and all I could think about was going home, how can I get…

50 Shades of ailments!

Ailments, we all have them, some more than most! I am in the more than most category! Or as my husband likes to call me the queens of ailments.  My aches and pains, conditions and issues are something I do not wish to have! I do not choose to get up and have an ailment,…

Anxious about being anxious

If you had asked me 5 years ago what anxiety felt like, I would not be able to tell you. I had never experienced anxiety ever before! What I might have said and it would have been a guess is…..butterflies in the tummy feeling??!?
