Book Cover & Preview Text
Social Media Boundary: “I don’t feel comfortable with you posting that on Facebook.” Time Boundary: “I can only stay for an hour” or “If you’re going to be late, please let me know beforehand.” Remember- The idea of setting boundaries can be scary if you are afraid of rejection but setting healthy boundaries will improve your relationships. Standards only scare of people not meant for you. It will also help you overcome other issues such as low self-esteem and anxiety, so be brave, set boundaries and be honest with people about who you are, what you want & how you expect to be treated, and your life will improve! What I can control We need to use our energy wisely focusing what we can control and changing what we can, rather than focusing on the things we cannot change. We have no control over what other people say, think or do, the only thing we have control over is the way we respond to it. For example, you can keep nagging and getting angry at your partner wanting them to change for 20 years but they never will unless they want to. Or you can change the way you view the situation and accept them for who they are. Another option if you are not happy with them then change the situation and leave. Chapter 3 Self-care and Self Compassion “You can not pour from an empty cup” What is Self-compassion?

About the Book
Are you feeling stuck, lost, depressed, stressed, anxious? Or you just want to feel more happier and at peace? Then this book is for you. I grew up in one of the poorest council estates in England and I have experienced all kinds of abuse and traumatic experiences. A lot of the people who grew up in the area are dead, in jail or on drugs. I used to be so negative, angry and depressed. I just thought that’s how I am, nothing I can do about it! Now I am a lot more positive and at peace. I have either seen it all, done it all or heard it all nothing can shock me. I am a qualified nurse, coach, leader and entrepreneur. Over the years I had ups and downs and have done a lot of self-destructive behaviour. I have been on a crazy journey and healed in different environments from monasteries in Asia to kitchen parties in Kent. I have summarised all the knowledge I have gained to help me change my mind and my life and hopefully it will help you too!
