  The pain in sharing The months after my recovery from my nervous breakdown/ spiritual awakening/ freeze mode/ darkness episode, I began living in a fantasy world believing I was “cured”/ enlightened to the issues I had been facing for a lifetime. I spent a few months living in lockdown, enjoying myself with the love of my life in an unfamiliar environment surrounded my nature in Northern Vietnam. During this time, I completely stopped focusing on my mental health. I truly felt happy within myself and externally. Even through the external difficulties I was facing at the time with homesickness/ visa issues/ work related issues I still felt fundamentally happy and I can truly say right now that I’m closer than ever to becoming more fulfilled. Recently I began sharing on social media again, I really feel the pull towards sharing a story that’s relatable to so many people but also untold within the general public/ locality. People respond to my stories about how “brave” it is to sh

Exhale the negative thoughts, Inhale the beautiful qualities.

  Overlooked strengths: If there is unhappiness in you, first you need to acknowledge that it is there. But don’t say “I’m unhappy”. Unhappiness has nothing to do with who you are”- Eckhart Tolle  (You are not your thoughts) Exercise: Take a moment to look at some of your core strengths. Close your eyes for a moment, think about how you see yourself. Exhale the negative “thoughts/ opinions” about yourself and inhale the words of the great qualities you do possess, own them, hold them in your heart and you’ll manifest great things. I promise you. Many of us are our worst own critics. Whether it stemmed from a childhood of being told something about yourself (your greedy, lazy, moody etc) or a society that doesn’t accept a declaration of selflove.   In my experience growing up in Ireland, I found receiving compliments was difficult and it was seen as being “full of shit” to accept a compliment with a simple thank you or to acknowledge the non physical good qualities.

My healing journey 1

  My Healing Journey 1 In January 2021, I began mentioning to some friends that I was becoming more and more interested about the philosophy and the workings of Traditional Chinese Medicine because I had heard a lot of success stories about treatments for ailments that had been unsuccessfully treated through Western medicine. I have always had an interest in medicine and the human body. I completed a degree in Public Health in 2017. In February, I met a girl who was studying an introduction to Chinese Medicine and acupuncture. I had never been treated before but had watched many videos on YouTube videos as an educational resource and had talked about friends experiences in detail with them. When I had the panic attack March 2021, I thought it had severely and perhaps permanently impacted my life forever.
