It's not Me, It's You!

It's 5.27am on the first day of my 'new life'. I mean it this time!


I have had the weirdest month of rest and reflection. A few weeks ago, something shifted and I couldn't get myself out of bed. Literally. My body was too weak and I was stuck there. My head was fuzzy and I couldn't think straight or make any decisions. Everyone in the family felt it. When 'The Glue' isn't holding it all together, boy do things start to shift out of place! So each day I was sleeping and resting and trying to get my mind better. After 2 full weeks of sleeping all day and all night, the Doctor then arranged some blood tests. Turns out, I have a huge vitamin deficiency and I needed medication! No wonder I wasn't getting better by resting...


A few days and a truck load of vitamins later and it was like a lightbulb was switched on. It was one evening whilst I was attempting to load the dishwasher, a task that had been almost impossible for the past few weeks, even with rest breaks, suddenly, was really easy! I even managed to do the rest of my evening routine without stopping and still felt fine. Wow... This can stay! And it has!


That was now 4 days ago and I am still going strong. If this past month has taught me anything, it's this; Mental Health is very important...BUT so is physical health.


So normal routine of the 5am start has resumed but this time I am spending my time doing something worthwhile. When you are a determined overthinker by nature, even when you are down you still need something to do. I spent this time trying to figure out just what I wanted from life. I chose happiness.

But what on earth does happiness look like. Becoming famous? Winning the lottery? Neither of those things would make me happy to be completely honest. I honestly don't know what true happiness is for me, but I have a good idea where to start.

I have always been a 'fixer', 'The Glue' or 'Mummy Claire' to those around me. I seem to always be the person who people go to when they need some advice or just someone to listen and I get a real sense of purpose when I can help. This is the case in so many areas, both personally and professionally.

So in reality, it's not me....it really is you! You can make me happy.


I genuinely want to help people. So I have therefore decided that for the rest of 2019 I am giving away my time to helping others...you! I am giving away FREE 10 minute slots of my time to just listen and advise. I am hugely diplomatic and normally find the best way forward for all involved. This should give me added purpose for the rest of the year and ready to start 2020 how I should.


So if you want to help me out and make me happy out by unloading your woes and asking for advice..I'm all ears. Simply book a FREE 10 minute slot...no catches! Having said that... I am a busy working Mum so times may be limited...but that's not exactly a catch! Have a look HERE and see if any of the times work for you.


Right...it's now 6am. Back to Mummy Claire duties for an hour before I turn into professional Claire for work..aka The Fixer.


I will check in with you tomorrow with more 5am thoughts


Have a GREAT Monday....
