P2YL | 41. Whatever gets you through the night

First I learnt to survive, then I learnt to thrive

👇🏻

Yes please. I'd like to receive your P2YL | Part 2 Of Your (Love?) Life newsletters

Last autumn I created a series called ‘September Spring’, a concentrated series of posts based on my own life-experience, on the theme of being ready for Part 2 Of Your (Love?) Life.


Call them little tonics or pick-me-ups, followed by the results that eventually came.


I’ll be sharing them with you here and in the next two P2YL newsletters. 


Read the description of each and CLICK on the ones that ring a bell with you and your needs.

1️⃣ Remember these things when you feel at your worst


Good if you are interested in some words and images that helped me cling on to the belief that my life and I would get better, even if I couldn’t see any evidence at the time.


2️⃣ Daily helpers ⎯ the magic of lavender and linen ⎯ dealing with panic attacks at work ⎯ three healthy escape routes


Little things that worked for me till the worst was over. Plus three great allies  you can call on when life gets anxious-making.



🌱🍃🌿
