Get Real Get Happy

How we experience our lives is a mix of the things that happen to us and how we respond. What if we can shift and change the balance of that relationship. What if even when the world is falling in around us we can be happy?

This week I am podcasting about my most recent experiences of having to go in for an operation, with a long-standing fear of hospitals and a recent diagnosis of PTSD I was sure it would trigger me. With some solid attempts to reduce my anxiety, I managed to have the operation without a single panic attack. So I thought I would share some of the things that helped me from bolstering my foundations, to focusing on the things I can control, reframing my narrative, and speaking to someone that had been through the same I was grateful to get through it without falling into the depths of anxiety. 

I have recently realised I am stuck in a cycle of binging and dieting. Having reflected a lot on where I am a continuing to beat myself up and then bully myself into really restricted eating I have decided to break the cycle. We all deserve to feel good about our bodies, free from fears or judgment or illness. Here is why I am ditching the diet and who knows what comes next.
