When you aren’t happy with yourself and your life, but don’t know how to change your circumstances, who can you talk to? Friends and family are often not those you wish to take advice from. You either won’t listen to them, they won’t listen to you, or they are too close to the problem. How do you find someone who can
look deeper within you and strike a chord that you can relate to? Maybe you don’t want a dramatic change. Just a little tweak to your life. In the same way you might go to a spa to pamper yourself and give yourself a ‘spring clean’ or detox. Wanting to change how you feel about yourself and how others perceive you can
happen any time, whatever your age. This realisation could be a seed of thought that has gradually been growing over months or years, fuelled by a lack of selfesteem, weight gain or loss or an unhappy relationship. It could also be brought on by a sudden shock caused by betrayal, divorce, job redundancy, bereavement,
illness, reaching a birthday milestone, empty nest syndrome or the loss of selfidentity experienced by many new mums. With the ever increasing pace of life, the instant fix is the easy option. Whether you choose the latest lunch hour plastic surgery that promises you a more youthful look, or Internet dating to find that elusive soul mate, neither solves the longer term issue of a life change. To be happy and self-fulfilled you need to discover yourself first.
