#55 Out with the Self doubt

Chuffed

My coldest swim yet. If you've listened to previous episodes, you'll new about my new venture in cold water swimming. Last weekend was my coldest swim yet and a huge emotional release. I blubbed all the way home in the car, it was a mix of joy, relief and realisation. I've been letting that little nasty worm "self doubt" creep its way in for far too long and in the freezing cold water I started to get my power back. Since becoming a mum, I have 100% felt different and in ways which i never imagined. I have felt stupid, worthless, unappealing and had huge mental blocks. Felt i wasn't as quick witted, not as fun and said some really nasty stuff to myself. Its not just motherhood that can lead us to behave like this. There are other junctions that can casue the self doubt to worm its way in, but my driving message behind this episode, is that "you've still got it". You're still there, but sometimes you ahve to step out of that comfort zone to get YOU back to YOU.

"i've still got it.... it never left me".

Hope you enjoy this episode. Reach out on the links below. i always love a good reach ou.
