When I was younger my dream was to travel the world, and at the age of 18, that dream became a reality. I travelled all around the world and had the most amazing experiences but somewhere along the way I had developed this feeling, a feeling that something was missing.

 

As the years passed I would have this constant feeling of lost, lonely and alone, even when I was in a room full of people. Constantly wondering where I fitted in.  Although I seemed to be living life to the full, these feelings would haunt me, I didn't understand why I had these emotions, I should be happy….. shouldn’t I???  To keep these emotions at bay I kept myself busy and was always on the go, but before long the years had passed and I had completely lost who I was, I had been so busy running away from my emotions, that I didn’t know who I was and what I wanted out of life. I had lost my map of the world. Nothing I did made me happy, I no longer got excited about anything, I didn't recognise myself any longer.  I had hit breaking point and things needed to change.

 

This is where I sought therapy and started to live again.  Taking the time out to think and talk about myself was liberating.  How often do we sit and really talk about ourselves in depth?

 

Shortly after this I qualified as a NLP practitioner, which really gave me the most powerful tool of understanding myself and implementing it into my life. This in itself was my biggest challenge by far, having to deal with emotions and fears buried deep within. For a long time I had carried issues of having to be in control, commitment issues, low self esteem, unhelpful beliefs and many more ha ha   I was finally understanding who I was, what I wanted and where I was heading. The journey was by no means easy, but certainly worth it.

 

This is my story and through NLP I continue to grow and understand the person that I am.

 

When you seek help and start to understand yourself is one of the best feelings. Everyone loses their path at some point in their life and may feel they need help to guide them, whether that be professional or from a loved one. If that is how you feel then don't hold back, If you change nothing, nothing will change."
