Turning the Corner

After many weeks of uncertainty in my life, I finally feel like I am getting somewhere. I have got myself a place on a Teaching Assistant Course and negotiated a morning in a local school. I have been and signed on, so hopefully should get my course paid for and some money coming in. I think I am feeling better about life in general...

Recently read The NLP Coach by Ian McDermott and Wendy Jago, Piatkus (2001) which was really just a positive thinking manual with longer words, but it did make a lot of sense.

Treating yourself as though you matter is the quickest way to help you feel that you do matter.

Once you stop thinking of yourself, your potential and your ways of operating as fixed and begin to treat them as processes, change becomes just another adjustment you can make.

It also made me analyse myself and how I appear to the world and how I want to appear. One thing the clairvoyant said when she came, was that I tend to put up a brick wall when it comes to my feelings. I always thought I was quite open with them, but recently I realise I talk about the facts of what happened rather than how I felt. I know I still have to deal with the emotions surrounding both the miscarriage and the death of my father. I have kept these at a distance but need to now bring them closer. Non-expression leads to Depression (Ian said) but each journey starts with a single step.....
