Lovely essay Anna :) especially loved this: “Because when you override a negative thought and step forward in spite of it, you realise it isn’t so bad after all. You realise that you’re more capable than you thought.”

I’m trying to infuse a little bit of Jim Carrey “yes man!” in my own life. Magic isn’t guaranteed to happen when you show up. But nothing is guaranteed to happen if you don’t.

After years of having my inner critic as my companion (and who dialled up their volume when I became a mum), I decided to break up with them this year. I’ve been swatting away thoughts and only after swatting do you realise how many thoughts you’ve let through in the past!!

Thanks for sharing your story, so so amazing! I can’t wait to hear more about your journey. I just love how it unfolded organically. Do you l have any other pieces about that?

Congrats on your break up!! 🙈🩷

It was all very organic but I think that’s the best way. I’ll be writing more about this soon, keep your eyes peeled xx
