'Working On Yourself' Can Make Things Worse - Here's What Works

I wasn't going to record a video this weekend but I really felt I wanted to share something with you guys. Walking around Battersea Park before a weekend away with family really made me think about how isolated and alone I used to be. It kind of made me sad, as well as proud, of how far I have come. I realised that there is a fine line between taking time to work on yourself and isolating or hiding from the world. I wanted to share with you the lessons I learned as well as take you in this awesome weekend to Lainston House and fishing on the Itchen river with Orvis. I hope you enjoy the video :) TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Healing, isolation, and personal journey 02:00 - Shopping haul and packing for trip 05:00 - Knitting, fundraising, and travel 09:00 - Exploring incredible room and amenities 11:45 - Reflection on healing and depression 15:15 - River Itchen, fly fishing, insects 17:54 - Fly fishing purpose and nature 19:10 - Fishing, nature, family moments I speak with workplaces and organisations about mental fitness.
