I always knew that I would get what I wanted in life. Whenever I wanted to get into uni, get that job, move out of home, get a car, etc., I always got what I wanted. I always went round saying I was really lucky.

Then I guess I let stress take over me and spiral downwards into panic. I now understand why, for a start! I felt really out of control in my life and couldn’t deal with anything. I split up with my boyfriend and felt really awful. Luckily and thankfully we got back together, but things didn’t get that much easier.

I got over the worse of my illness, but the doctor decided to put me on anti-depressants. I didn’t really want to go on them, but at the same time I did, because it was nice to see a doctor who took my symptoms seriously.

Lately, I had been discussing with my boyfriend and friends how I used to be so positive and happy and get everything I wanted in life. I decided I would buy this book that made me happy the first time round. It was along side the lines of The Secret, but a little more “out there”. But my friend said I could borrow her book, The Secret, and that it was similar to what I was talking about. So I did.

Now I’m back to my favourite ol’ self!! I am so excited about it! I’m all excited that I am finally going to be really lucky again, and get everything I want.

So far, in 2 weeks, I have ditched my list of 10 supplements I take every day to “balance my moods”. It is really hilarious to think I took all these pills every morning (vitamins and natural remedies) and was still stressed, and now all I’ve done is taken control over my thoughts, and I am 10 times happier without them.

In the next few weeks I’m going to buy a house with my boyfriend, win a car for my friend, have an AMAZING Christmas, and win the south east championships. I’m also going to be 60kg and have a flat belly!! At the moment I look in the mirror and love myself so much, and get compliments all the time on how I look. It’s great! The biggest thing I want to work on is my relationship, so that my boyfriend can be more part of the family.

I can’t wait to write again with an “update” to show how things are going, and all the things above have come true!

Life is the best – live it!! And tell everyone about The Secret. It was “thanksgiving” yesterday, and I don’t see why we can’t celebrate that over here in our own way. I plan to spread the thinking of The Secret to my school classes!!

Thank you for bringing the positivity back into my life, and for enabling me to enjoy being my old self again!!
