So what exactly happened and what steps did I follow in taking a step back to be able to move forwards in ways I never thought possible? As a result, I can now say that I am a stronger person today, not only for me but for my family. It was then, during my recovery, that I realised I needed to take a step back and really look at myself. I suddenly remembered a colleague of mine once recommending a book – Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway, by Susan Jeffers. Boy was it life changing and it was this book which taught me not be afraid to press the reset button. The thought of not knowing where this road would potentially lead me put me off even wanting to look into it and I continued to ignore the persistent voice in my head which questioned my reality. To be honest with you, I was afraid of unlocking what the answer to that question was. Life at home was perfect, my job was amazing, so what was it? Throughout my recovery, there was a nagging thought at the back of my mind I had never had before – was there something I was missing? I couldn’t put my finger on it. It was after a major operation at the beginning of 2020 when taking a step back became a reality that I was reluctant to accept. To categorise myself, I have always been that person who is very headstrong, driven and determined however I also enjoy the comfort of an everyday routine, my role as a mummy and going to a job that I love. There is a saying which I love – “sometimes you need to take a step back to move forwards” – these words couldn’t be truer and I want you all to keep these at the forefront of your mind throughout this article. You can never predict what life will throw at you – some of us are able to carry on regardless and feel that there is nothing stopping us, but then there are some of us who will find ourselves are standing at a crossroads quite literally not knowing what way to turn.
