I have been “coaching” for years - always asking the un-askable questions, having the deeper conversations, loving connecting with others and assisting where I could. To be able to apply my natural strengths in a chosen career is a blessing and I am completely committed to what I do. The cliché has merit – love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life. I found myself as a mother of three incredible children, with a loving and supportive husband, financially secure, physically fit and vital, and we’d holiday abroad and socialise with good friends often. And yet … I was still unfulfilled. I battled with seeing my problem as being valid and never talked to anyone about it as I never knew how to start explaining it.

I didn’t know what was missing … just that something was. Keeping up appearances on “Fakebook”, with my frenemies, was exhausting as I constantly fed my ego by proving my success with recognition through posts. I was always time poor – doing ten things badly, as opposed to one thing well. Even as “just a mum”, I placed enormous pressure upon myself with high expectations and a need for perfectionism. I was my greatest critic in the face of public opinion and how I believed that I was perceived by others and my dear family were having to bear the brunt of my frustration and disillusionment, never understanding what I had to be unhappy about. On the surface, life was dandy however underneath, my flame was dying.

I had defined myself by my responsibilities and lost myself in the process. It was a huge realisation that the resentment I felt towards my family commitments was in fact MY choice – the responsibility lay solely at my feet and as such, I was the only one that could choose to turn it around. Self-love was missing in my life, while family love was overflowing. However, if I never tended to my own care, I ran the risk of burn-out. You need a match, to light many candles. Love needed to start with me if I was to share it with others. Since learning about and embracing the importance of self-care, I am a very different member of our family.

I am better – a better wife, a better mother, a better ME! I am far from perfect however I embrace that perfectly imperfect is perfectly permissible and I love and accept myself just the way I am. When the clouds gather and the storm grows, my sunshine is always present, even if it’s hidden from view. And it is only in the presence of sunshine and rain that it’s possible for the rainbow to appear. In the same way, as challenges appear in my life and possibly intensify, I know that I have what it takes to overcome them and to take away the lessons that each experience brings. I live with so much more love, acceptance and calm now because I acknowledge the changing weather of life.
