I'm really trying very hard at the moment to change the way I think about life. To re-think my priorities and learn that I don't have to obsess over things to the detriment of other things in my life. Basically I think in my head i'm a very selfish person. I may do things for other people but usually it's to gain something or because it makes me feel good to help others - not because I selflessly want to help them IYKWIM? I want that to change.

Can you believe this is the first time i've even been in this sub forum...

So tomorrow I have a consultation with a lady who is a pschologist/hypnotist/Reiki Master, we're going to talk and she is going to see if she can help me and how.

I've also been given a gratitude rock and have made a list that I am updating regularly. My ipod is an amazing tool! Ive downloaded some apps - one is a Gratitude Journal where I write next to little gratitude rocks all the things i'm grateful for. Another is a motivational quotes ap and another is a vision board.

I've bought 3 books (I know I seem over excited but i'm going to take my time with them!) - two by John Demartini and the other one is The Power Of Now.

Every time I feel tested i've been closing my eyes and thinking of all the reasons I am grateful and trying to figure out why every (supposed) negative thing happens and a positive behind it.

I'm also trying to enjoy the moment. Painting with DD2 and not counting how many pictures we've done and if it;s enough to be able to stop. Trying to appreciate the "now".

How do you puposefully try to grow each day and live well? Does anybody have any ideas for me?

I'd love some support and guidence on my journey and also to hear about others and support them on theirs.

Thanks for listening x
