Getting Help Amongst Anxiety From Harry Potter

As I type this post service I should hold out hanging my caput inwards shame, I conduct keep been MIA for several weeks as well as neglected my love motivational blog.  However, instead of the shame, I experience slightly exhilarated as well as refreshed.

Many of you lot know that Nov is a crazy writing calendar month for me, every bit I partake inwards NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month).  This twelvemonth I chose to write the initiatory of all draft of the finally mass inwards my immature adult trilogy.  On Nov 17th, I wrote my 52,000th discussion as well as declared myself a winner!  I adore this competition; it is the perfect platform to overstep along me 1 hundred per cent motivated on my writing projects.  If alone I could hold out this motivated all twelvemonth round!

So every bit I uploaded my manuscript as well as watched every bit my discussion count was validated, I began to intend most my weblog content as well as the topics I desire to expect at over the coming months.  Confidence, organising your life as well as looking afterward yourself are the themes I volition hold out exploring over Dec as well as into the New Year.  But, to write most confidence, as well as existence organised, as well as earlier I tin sweat to expect afterward myself, I needed to produce it, alive it as well as acquire it.

Back inwards the summertime I was diagnosed alongside severe depression as well as anxiety; I’ve spent the finally few months putting myself dorsum together as well as using the tools I’ve learned over the years every bit a holistic wellness practitioner as well as tutor to assistance me.  My anxiety prevented me from leaving the solid as well as and thus my confidence took a olfactory organ dive.  As a ordinarily active as well as social individual, this was peculiarly difficult for me to deal with.

Over time, I conduct keep worked through this anxiety as well as pushed myself into situations that would brand me uncomfortable.  A unproblematic nighttime out alongside friends could motion a string of physical symptoms to flare up.  Popping to the store turned into an SAS mission done alone nether the embrace of darkness.  My domicile became a haven where I could lock the door as well as cover away, exactly this wasn’t helping my situation.

So, what did I do?  I had to start small.  Pushing myself to move out as well as most began every bit a java alongside a friend at home.  Then I worked upwardly to coming together friends at a local java shop.  My sister-in-law together alongside my proficient friend, Caroline, arranged a girls nighttime out 1 time a calendar month where the 3 of us went out for dinner.  It began to move as well as my anxiety depleted.

Last weekend, I took my 3 teenagers to the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Tour inwards London.  This was a total hateful solar daytime of trains, buses as well as busy venues.  I was as well as thus proud of how I coped alongside everything, fifty-fifty having to stand upwardly up for the ii hr develop journeying home, every bit nosotros were all packed inwards to the carriages similar sardines!

The Harry Potter Tour was genuinely magical, as well as it was every bit I wandered roughly the celluloid sets that I realised how much fun I was having.  I’d permit my anxiety as well as depression command me instead of me taking command over it.  Of course, it’s non e'er tardily to plough your emotions roughly or switch off from the depression feelings, exactly I directly realise that I’ve come upwardly a long way.  The wondrous ability of a caring solid unit of measurement as well as supportive friends has been amazing too, as well as I’m as well as thus grateful to everyone who has helped me over the by few months. 

The magic of Harry Potter seeped into me every bit I flourished my newly purchased wand as well as vowed to allow myself the occasional fourth dimension out.  Revitalising your soul, chilling out as well as going dorsum to the outset are of import things to recall when you lot experience the remove to hold out MIA.

So, I won’t hang my caput inwards shame; I volition savour the experience as well as hold out grateful for the darkness because it’s alone when nosotros alive inwards the shadows that nosotros tin appreciate the magic of life.  Harry taught me that!
