Bonjour Mesdames, Mesdemoiselles et Monsieur,
While my son is napping, while my nails are drying, I am finally taking the time to share. Share what I have yelled in my head for what seems like days, weeks, months.
“I will never ever give up, not for a day or even for an hour. I will get what I want.”
This past year, as far as I am concerned, as been as tough & rough that it has be rich & beautiful. What about yours?
Entrepreneur in Paris (not an easy fix), single mother and yet very single for now at least :-), I have faced anxiety, sadness, exhaustion and the very disturbing feelings of messiness and lack of control.
For a few months… I did feel alone, broken & miserable. My inner strength did the work and made sure I would fight and fight again. Because I am a fighter. And I know we all are! Here are a few tips from my experience hoping it can be of any help.
FIND THE WHY, GET HELP & FORGIVE
Yes I know it is a very big one but so necessary. Why are you feeling so low? What happens? Who is involved? Dig, don’t be scared thinking, processing being sad and mad. But…
Don’t let it hang for too long! Get help!
A psychologist, a coach, as many friends that are good listeners, talk, share, ask for help, socialize, don’t stay alone if you don’t feel like it. I really recommend seeing a professional if you feel depressed.
How do you know you are depressed? You are exhausted, don’t want to get out of bed, everything you do is boring, you have no appetite or opposite food is your sole passion, you don’t want to get out of your house, you don’t want to see anyone, you are always sad or angry or you are numb.
kept fighting. How?
GRATITUDE
I was grateful for all that I had! Even if I have lost the love story I have platonically nourished for over 15 years. Even if I was feeling so guilty for bringing my son to the world with a single parent present. I am grateful. All those moments of joy, of discovery. Motherhood is just amazing. I had no idea I would love it so much.
I was and I am also very grateful because of my family, my friends and my passions in life. I kept saying thank you everyday. And even tripled my moments of gratitude to be in the present, to feel it and enjoy it.
DREAMS & NECESSITY
I have had for the longest time big projects in my head. Contribution in changing the world for women entrepreneurs, helping abandoned children as for my life goals. The ones more materialistic are to open a new type of hotel, writing more books, seeking songs lyrics & melodies and of course traveling through the world living partly in France and in the US. What are yours? What are yours dreams? What do you want to reach for? Find those, write them everywhere you can, make sure to have them in front of your face when you go to sleep and when you wake up. Start working on them now, life happens so fast.
SELF DEVELOPMENT & BOOKS
When got me out of my sad grey bubble? What brought me back to 100% happiness & positivity and this even when I was not with my son? Books! Books! Books!
