I needed to find my way back to things I loved that made me feel good again.
I am very creative, like most of us it seems, and I began exploring those things.
I found out that I am a very good photographer and I now have two of my photos on the walls of our apartment on canvas....to be honest, I get a bit of a surprise still every time I walk into the loungeroom and see my huge sunrise on the wall: it is really amazing. And I did that. (somehow
).
And my husband makes jewellery and has begun teaching me. And I love designing bracelets and earrings. Who'd a thunk? I used to admire people who did that and I knew I never would. But now I can and do.
I think it's easier to tell the negative thoughts to take a flying leap when we are doing stuff that builds our self-esteem.
