AT SOME POINT WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT IT IS THAT MATTERS TO US.... NOT WHAT IS THE MATTER.
![]() I've been depression free for about 7 years now, sure I have my down days but depression is something more than just having the blues now and then. Depression goes on and on, where sadness and helplessness become the norm for long periods of time. I was someone that was able to mask it quite well when in public but back then underneath lay a confused soul in torment. I tried everything to beat it during those times. From crystals, to organised religion, from counselling to meditation, to mystics and colour therapy, exercise and suppliments! Apart from drugs and prescription medicine, you name it I tried it. I've read and spent ridiculous amounts of money on self help books, and courses over the years as I continued to seek for clues on a way out of my thinking which bound me. Eventually I found something that worked for me, and it came through neuroscience. Im a very logical person, yet Im also a very sensitive emotional and spiritual person, so I needed something to fit all. To disregard either of those aspects in me is a recipe for disaster. I have to feed all aspects of me. They are not separate in my mind, they work together somehow and I don't need to prove it anymore, I just know. I discovered just how powerful my mind could be if I fed it with certain thoughts. These thoughts then create an emotional response and that response feeds back to me neurologically. It's riduculously simple and I'm just bewildered as to why this stuff isn't been socialised to us. We always seem to be presented that we either have to be 'one' or the 'other' when in my reality this is so far off the mark. I believe we are a whole person operating on many different levels and not just as a physical walking talking piece of flesh and bones. I also like that fact that nothing or no one can control my mind, except me, and that alone gives me freedom. My mind is sacred ground. Now Im working in mental health in a non clincial environment I am more and more convinced that those of us who are susceptible to mental stress are simply fragile sensitive souls who are trying to make sense of what at times can feel like a very 'odd' world! Perhaps our problem is that we are too aware of what's going on around us? we are so sensitive it can become overwhelming. Whilst I used to see this as my greatest curse, I now see this as my greatest strength and to numb that acuteness by any means would be to take away my greatest gift and contribution to those who care enough to want me in their life. I had to learn how to manage that sensitivity, and it still remains a work in progress. Life doesn't stop happening to me, so long as I stay open to keep learning that's all I can ask of me. I have learnt that I have a lot more control over self determining my own life than I have been lead to believe. Again it was neuroscience that helped me discover that what I focused on actually grew in intensity and my clear intentions could actually make things happen!. It's not magic nor mystical, it's just my unshakeable belief and convictions that enables this. This is where I get excited and love my role as a life coach because I get to be a part of others emergence and I help tease out from them realistic goals. I will never tell someone what to do, as I believe deep down they already know. It's just my job to help them uncover that. Im also so excited as Im just about to add another 'tool' to my toolbox through some light study in hypnotherapy with a local hypnotist. I can't wait to see what's going to emerge, what's going to be affirmed, and what I'm going to learn. I can see this complimenting my life coaching service considerably and Im looking forward to passing that on to those who are also ready to embark on a path of self determining their own lives.
