A-Z of Recovery: Knowing you are enough

In today's society, whether you're struggling with any kind of Mental Health issues or not, we all constantly feel like we are not good enough. There are so many different kinds of social media accounts where, let be honest, we often only talk bout the best parts of our day (and that's okay- blog post coming soon about this!) We seldom feel comfortable enough to talk to other people about our problems so we pretend that they aren't there and get on with our day.

When music speaks

One of the things that I use everyday, that is a huge influencer of my mood is music. I have a playlists for every mood and listening tto the right one helps release any unspoken emotions. The lyrics of the songs in each playlist 100% portray my emotions on a specific life event, mood or person. Its a very creative way for me to feel like I have been through a session of therapy. 

Self Esteem Tips

I know that saying that you are going to try to re-build your self esteem is a lot easier said than done, no one has a fool-proof self esteem. There are lots of different things that effect all people differently. there is no set way to help re-build your self esteem and it isn't easy or a quick fix which is what has often gotten us into our messes anyway. Quick fixes do not last long and they often cause more harm than good in the long run.

To Valentine or not to Valentine

This is for the singletons....for the besties....for those lucky in love.

So Tuesday will be one of the most controversial days of 2017 so far. It's valentines day.  The day is just like Marmite  (fellow Brits will know what I mean); you either love it or your hate it. It's a day of celebrating the love that you have for  a person in your life (or maybe even a few people if you celebrate it with your bestie/s like I do).

One size fits all

Over the years I have watched many people that I care about go through their own personal journeys, and thanks to this blog (and twitter) I have seen many of you do the same. One of the things that I think people struggle the most with when beginning to make changes in their lives is the process of changing in itself. We can all share our memories, the way that we have done things etc and that is great, it may just be what someone needs.

Through the web: Blogger love pt 2

One of the ways I am slowly getting some of my blogging mojo back is to immerse myself in the writings of some of my favourite bloggers. Since I have currently been ill for the past 3 weeks, I can confirm that I have definitely had the time in which to carve out for this mass reading. I did a post exactly like this last year but I wanted to share some more of my favourites with you all.
