ABOUT ME  a first blog....29/07.2025

This photo below was one of the happiest and fulfilling days/memories of my life. I was sitting in a restaurant in  the U.K. in my hometown, my birthplace and I was with my Dad. I had not seen him since I was 7 years old. It meant the world to me. Long story.... Truly exciting day, eating English traditional fare. Of course I have many other happy and fulfilling days such as birth of kids and graduations, and many other memorable moments.

Amazing to think back to long before then, that in my past I had extreme anxiety and panic attacks and even developed agoraphobia (fear of going places), for a short time. I am sure there was trauma elements also. I wont dive in to that. My point I never dreamed I would board a plane, or meet my Dad, but I have. I got over many of my fears and phobias, anxieties by working on myself. I am not going to say it was easy. At times it was very hard. Many things are mind over matter and based on limiting beliefs.

It gets me quite nostalgic. However for much of my life I have been thinking about happiness and well being.  In my childhood I had anxiety and all came to a head by my 20s I had terrible anxiety and did not understand my why?  or what to do about it. When I approached a Dr I was given anti anxiety medication. Not too much advice other than take that as a fix. It did not ring right with me it was a crisis fix, but not a long term solution. Instead I started trying to discover my why? In my 30s when I had a repeat of anxiety including panic and insomnia and digestive issues, terrible reflux, it was a similar experience, a Dr told me to take antacids and beta blockers.  When I asked him how long I would need to take the medication, he proclaimed to me,  the rest of my life ! Somewhere in there, I thought no. That will not be me. 

Why am I telling you these small anecdotal stories? Because they are common themes, but were very significant to my health journey and me finding my passion to help others.

Because when I was at at my lowest,  I had to find another way, to not accept my fate. And that is what I did. Those stories started my own personal and unique health journey of self discovery. I wanted to know how to keep myself free from anxiety and stressors. And to be healthy and happy.  Nothing was a quick fix. But there are many tools and techniques that can provide relief. And turn your story around.
