Well my Surrey Darlings we are more than half way through 2024. How has it been so far for you? This month all you will hear is buzz about the election but I don’t want to talk politics, I want to talk about love.<\/p>\n
Have you found love in 2024?<\/p>\n
Have you lost a great love in 2024?<\/p>\n
Have you fallen in love with yourself this year?<\/p>\n
I hope you have fallen out of love with anyone toxic.<\/p>\n
If you are an avid Surrey Rocks reader you will have seen my previous columns including a step- by-step guide on how to find love (or bring the spark back into your relationship) and practical advice on how to be the best person you can be, ready to receive a healthy relationship. I am happy I receive so many messages from people who have said my advice has helped them but\u00a0one message that really stood out so I want to share; Katie wrote:<\/p>\n
“I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for all your inspiration. Your advice has motivated me in a profound way.\u00a0Specifically when you mention about writing down goals. I\u2019ve heard the word ‘journaling’ loads but never understood it literally meant writing down your goals.<\/p>\n
You have filled me with a renewed sense of hope and determination that I am lovable and deserve love too. Thank you for being such a motivating force. You have impacted me in a way that will stay with me going forward.”<\/p>\n
I think Katie is a great example of someone who can change the whole direction of their life with a simple lightbulb moment from reading something that inspires them.\u00a0Sometimes all it takes is one book, magazine, insta quote to give you that push but ultimately Katie is doing the work, she is writing her goals, she is changing her mindset and she is totally in control of changing her life for the better.\u00a0I believe you can speak your dream life into existence and it excites me Katie knows that is now possible too.<\/p>\n
So if you are feeling a little down, a little lost or a little jaded right now, take this as a sign to keep going. All life has cycles. I believe humans have seasons just like in nature. So perhaps this is your winter. You have lost your ‘leaves’ and are feeling tired, depleted and life keeps throwing storms your way. It may feel like the storms may never end but, just like in nature, Spring ALWAYS comes. Keep going, hunker down, the sun will shine for you again, Spring is on its way.<\/p>\n
Hopefully though, you will be in your Summer. Where life feels good, easy, bright and you are full of hope.\u00a0But if not I believe you can hijack your way to your own personal Summer by these simple steps:<\/p>\n
If you do this for 3 months at least once a day\/week you will be creating a totally different life for yourself and by Christmas you will be well into your Spring\/Summer era of life.\u00a0Life May feel difficult at the moment but ultimately you are in control of your future. Try and detach from the overthinking.<\/p>\n
If you are feeling depressed you are likely thinking too much about the past. If you are feeling anxious it’s most likely you are thinking about the future. Come back to the now and you can instantly shift your core feelings and being.\u00a0Depression I also think is your body telling you that you need deep rest. So, make sure you are doing everything possible to get some decent sleep.<\/p>\n
The question I often ask myself is would I date me. My answer is an unequivocal yes but if yours is a no it’s time to stop dating and start healing. You can never start a healthy relationship when you have trauma or unhealed wounds. You deserve to be in your Summer era but that takes work. Take responsibility for your actions, your life and your future. Rest. Heal. Fall in love.<\/p>\n
Relationships are great but remember the longest and best relationship you will ever have is with yourself. Go create your Summer era. You’ve got this darlings!<\/p>\n
