Welcome to all my new subscribers and my 5000 loyal readers who have been with me for the past 18 years.

Hello Carole Ann,

If you feel lost let me return you to found this week.

In response to your great feedback on my self-abandonment newsletter posted recently, today I am offering a Part 2 installment with an added action plan.  

When we feel we are not being at our best, or are compromised in some way, it can be that we have developed coping mechanisms where we leave our true selves behind to deal with the harsh, hard or unacceptable in front of us.

Sometimes if we are careless, like lost luggage, we can never return to where we were.

Here's the hope.

See below your guide to recovering you. Simple tips but it’s not easy to do. So do consider booking that free 30 minute call with me at the end.

Where Did You Leave Yourself Behind?

• Not charging enough for your services even though you are more than experienced and qualified ➡ Raise your courage, believe you deserve more and others will follow
• Not having healthy boundaries with others➡ What would it take for you to say “no” more often?
• Not doing things to help yourself i.e. exercise, developing your business, getting website sorted ➡ What is the real fear here?
• Overthinking ➡ Are you allowing your doubts to be bigger than your dreams?
• Not defending ourselves, your needs and wants ➡ What would it take for you to value you?
• Tolerating the unacceptable/hoping things will change ➡ We can’t change others so what needs to change in you?
• Losing your moral compass➡  What would self-love and self-esteem do for you now?
• Feeling co-erced into behaviour or actions you now regret➡ Time to learn and to forgive yourself
• Venting and feeling out of control ➡ What need is not being met and what can you do about it?
• Feeling “I don’t know why I let that happen” in relationships/friendships? ➡ What would you do differently if you knew people would love you as you are?
• Confused and paranoid ➡ What are you afraid of admitting to yourself?
• Envying others – use jealousy as a call to arms ➡ What have they got that you want and how can you get that for you?
• Comparing your life unfavorably with others➡ Stay in your own lane
• Living on nerves ➡ Practice radical self-care
• Aiming to please to the point of self-annihilation/ill health ➡ When will you look after you?
• Ignoring reality and favoring wishful thinking ➡ Add steps to your daydreaming and then you have an action plan
• Forgiving or ignoring abuse ➡ Making excuses for your perpetrator is self-harm
• Feeling numbed out➡  You know deep down what you want to happen. What can be your first step?
• Hiding your true self to fit in or be liked ➡ Why deprive the world of your unique awesomeness?
• Minimising achievements and brushing off compliments ➡ Imagine what would change in your life if you had more confidence and you believed in yourself.
• Ignoring minor ailments ➡ It’s time to love and honour your body. Get help today
