A Personal Journey of Growth to Happiness

So without spending this entire post telling you my life story (long, complicated and, as the Chinese curse goes "May you lead an interesting life"!), I am over 40, have three children, a husband, pets, a job and challenges by the bucket load.

I have spent a lot of time and effort trying to improve my life for myself and my family but have reached a point where I realise that there is something much more important I need to concentrate on - me. I am not happy and I know why. Every part of my life is ruled by fear and it has reached the point of ridiculous.

From the time I wake up in the morning to the time I go to bed, almost every action (and many inactions) is ruled by the enemy in my head who uses every method possible stopping me from achieving - at all.

So I am going to destroy this enemy - with love and kindness. And for that, I need help. I need people to help me find the personal courage to overcome that constant, negative voice and drown it in positive consequences for my positive actions.

Every week, I am going to choose a task to concentrate on that will require me to overcome that negative internal voice. And I will need people to care and to help me to get there.

This week, I am going to choose to do 30 minutes of exercise in the morning. While for many people, that may not sound like much but it has proven very challenging in the past few weeks. I have given so much power to that negative voice that it has stopped me 4 days out of 5.

To achieve this, I am asking for help from anyone who is willing to do so. I will be posting in the forum every morning; detailing the negative voice and what it has to say that is stopping me. If you think you might have some ideas on how to take the power away from the nasty, negative voice; please join me.

But I am not just doing this for me, I am hoping that my journey and the guidance I receive from others will help people who are also battling the voice of negativity. I would love it if we were able to help each other.
