Welcome here! My Story from Your Host, Ainslie:
Come and introduce yourself here! I'll start!:
We may in life lose sight of our potential and neglect our personal goals by being overcome by our past, present and future.
Often our good qualities lay hidden behind frustration and fear.
I found this happening to me for a lot of years, actually most of my life until now.
Hi my name is Ainslie, My introductory.
I grew up to be the youngest of 3 girls, the baby of the family and "bubby" was my nickname until age 8 or 9. I was the one that struggled with Dyslexia and depression from a very young age, only I didn't know about the depression until after I had my first child.
At school I was the kid in the class who was always getting caught talking, I hated school because I struggled with it. Yes you can probably guess I wasn't popular at school either. Except when it came to the swimming carnival my friend Sarah and I were the ones to beat.
After leaving school I struggled even more with me depression which had a huge effect on my life. I was always doing physical activity, dancing lessons 2 times a week and all day Saturdays also physical culture as well, you could probably say I grew in dance class. I left dancing at the same time I did school.
Having been through childhood emotional and sexual trauma I really struggled with my depression and eventually as an adult my GP explained to me that my depression had turned into Bipolar. I started seeing a psychologist and psychiatrist from the time I was 28, even though I was taking my medication I was going down hill slowly and I didn't realise it until I found myself trying suicide, I was put in hospital a couple of times over the next few years. I had to leave my toxic marriage I was a huge and scary step I struggled just like any other single parent and separated parents do, I was using food and alcohol to comfort me exercise alone wasn't relieving my stress anxiety and depression I wasn't coping my drinking got worse, it got so bad that when I drank I would do things I wouldn't ever do sober. Alcohol was making me crazy and killing my soul, my body was suffering as well
I knew I had to change our soul are born pure and life in all its conditions creates a sickness in our souls we become selfish dishonest angers sad depressed and controlling because we have to live in a world full of people exactly like us. This was my experience my soul had been broken. I got help and stopped drinking, I started studying Neuro linguistic Programing NLP I loved it I had found my passion. I just kept studying learning about human behaviour and how the brain works it was fascinating to me it still is. I was learning about me, why I did things and thought things and how to change my behaviours, live and actually be happy and successful. Leave my past behind.
I started putting everything I have learnt into practice every day, Learning about myself and becoming awakened to myself and my surroundings, has completely changed my whole life for me and those around me. My life is still hard at times and now when it gets hard I have the confidence and love that I am capable to face anything. I seek progress for an awakened life every day. Progress not perfection
