A new year doesn’t have to mean starting over. Instead of erasing the past, we should use it as a guide. Our darkest moments shape who we become, teaching us resilience, self-worth, and direction. Growth isn’t about forgetting — it’s about transforming what once hurt into fuel for progress.
Anxiety often hides behind opportunity. It’s that trembling mix of fear and hope we feel when standing at the edge of change. But what if anxiety isn’t just a warning — what if it’s a sign we care deeply about our future? Don’t silence it. Learn from it.
Self-criticism can be relentless — a quiet voice that chips away at confidence, joy, and self-worth. But it’s not truth; it’s habit. Recognising when you’re too hard on yourself is the first step to breaking free. It’s time to silence that inner saboteur and start approving of yourself instead.
After a challenging start to 2018, I’ve put together a vlog to share a fresh chapter and reflections on overcoming personal battles. It’s a celebration of resilience, moving forward, and embracing new beginnings—thank you for continuing to follow along on this journey.
This is mental health.
