I've recently become a Mental Health First Aider! I completed this course last week, hosted by the incredibly knowledgeable @iambenwest.
I highly recommend it, especially if you want to be better equipped to help someone but don't feel you have all the necessary tools.
Since then, my inner negative voice has completely disappeared.
Can you imagine that? No more talking to myself like I'm not worthy, just optimism and being content more of the time!
It's still unreal to be like this, but it's made me feel excited for the future β₯οΈ
So I read this in @LoriGottlieb1's book in January and cried for about a week cos it felt like the definition of me. It was rough.
I went to a hypnotherapist recently and she helped me to address this not feeling good enough personality...
Aside from the weird music Nazi that I was (who was this guy?!), this made me physically gulp.
This feels like a hangover from best friends ignoring me thing and not feeling heard or understood. Fuck.
Found some creative writing I did a hundred years ago about who I am and my aspirations! Saved it as a PDF.
My personality hasn't changed much, but I sounded much more optimistic. Surprise!
BUT Christ, the people pleasing started early!
When *nightclubbing*, and badminton and tennis were my pastimes. On specific days the reader really needed to know about. In case they were free to chat on other days. Or something.
