The book lust7/3/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() No matter what we do life is going to sometimes send challenging situations. Will making friends with yourself make your life perfect? No. ![]() So, in the midst of all this I began questioning whether making friends with myself had actually made any difference at all, and the subject of this month’s blog was born. ![]() I’m also self-employed and trying to authentically grow my business whilst not put too much on my plate which, as a recovering workaholic, I still have a tendency to do. My biggest struggle in April came in the shape of my gorgeous curly headed son Josh, not so much him, but his autism which means at four he’s non-verbal, has a lot of very specific needs and for whom the Easter Holidays weren’t a welcome chocolate fest but an upsetting break in his routine that triggered a spate of almost constant meltdowns. I’m writing a book about self-compassion and the role it plays in living a joyful life, but as imposter syndrome flooded through me during the first session of the Hay House writers’ workshop along with frustration and my general weepy demeanour I thought, “God, Hannah you are a total fraud – this doesn’t seem like joyful living, the book is lies!” Stress and overwhelm were regular visitors. I can’t believe we are in May – Mental Health Awareness Month – and I won’t lie, my intention to stay light-hearted in April didn’t quite go to plan. ![]()
