WHAT ARE YOU ALLOWING TO STOP YOU? BY JESSIE REIMERS
5 years ago I had exceptionally low self worth, I didn’t know who I was, I didn’t like who I was, I was scared, isolated and struggling with my physical and emotional health. I was on welfare, trying to provide for two young kids and had really lost hope.I had lost hope for my health, for my future and I had a deep sadness within me. I was also angry, angry at a system that wasn’t helping me heal. I was in victim mode, blaming every external circumstance possible, refusing to take responsibility for my life and my choices, I wanted someone to rescue me and take all the pain away. Everything started to shift for me when I finally had the realisation that if I wanted things to change I had to take personal responsibility for my life and start making small daily choices in the direction of my dreams. As a young woman with Aspergers, severe social anxiety and a massive introvert that preferred my comfy bed and my comfort zone far more than the anxiety producing thought of actually putting myself out there, being seen and connecting with the humans, it was a big deal for me to turn my life around and change my beliefs and behaviours. But I didn’t want to continue living the way I was and experiencing the life through the lense I had, so it was time to make some serious changes. I started researching how to heal my life, I read my first personal development You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay, I started doing mirror work, looking in the mirror into my eyes and telling myself I love myself, which was extremely difficult and uncomfortable at first. I started eating nourishing food and started a petition to stop the Heart Foundation promoting margarine and highly processed, sugar filled food such as Milo cereal as heart healthy.
