As a middle child of a middle-class family I always believed university and high-profile careers were for ‘other’ people. My parents both worked, and the expectation was to leave school, settle down and to raise a family. Like mum!

My mum was always apologising for her self, her appearance, her size, her large chest, the house, everything! her sheer existence. She never felt enough! No self worth and a terrible people pleaser too! It used to drive me crazy as a child, everything was always perfect in my eyes – what was she apologising for all the time… as an adult I see things more clearly now, bless her.

Leave school, get a little job, meet someone steady, settle down and raise a family…. simple right….?

That was never ‘enough’ for me, I had dreams and aspirations but there was always that ‘limiting belief’ holding me back. The inner chatterbox would appear loud and clear with that message again. Dreams and success were for ‘other’ people and I was left feeling perhaps I wasn’t good enough or worthy of or deserving of my dreams. Dad’s words of encouragement – what do YOU want to do that for…!!

That was a pattern and a doubt that followed me around well into my thirties.

Although I didn’t realise it at the time, that burning desire and inner self-belief was buried deep inside. Like a guardian angel the voice kept popping up ‘leave this unhealthy situation, ‘be true to YOU’, ‘YOU deserve to be happy’

Everything changed again when I discovered Reiki, I had a minor car accident, and nothing seemed to heal the physical or emotional pain. Reiki, not only healed the physical pain but began, what was to then become my journey of self-healing. Reiki changed my life, healing and releasing my supressed emotional pain. I was able to let go and release all my buried fears and experiences, limiting beliefs and grew stronger, more present, and happier by the day.

As I reflect, it is clear now that the stories and the lessons from the self-help books and training courses were reprogramming my limiting beliefs. I was able to be “true to myself” and keep fighting my way through to my ‘happy place’. Self-love starts with YOU, the answers were always within.

My poor mum is now riddled with pain from head to toe, recently diagnosed with secondary bone cancer and STILL apologising for her ‘bendy’ body and lack of mobility! Self love doesnt exist in mums mind, always putting others first, putting herself down and people pleasing to keep the peace. Mum holds it all in – from head to toe. Literally burning from the inside out. Still allowing Dad to tell her what she does and doesn’t need without complaint. Our parents are generally victims of victims and know no different. Have YOU broken your family cycle..? I AM so glad I saw the light and stay true to my own path.
