The Overnight Change.
Submitted by: Rebecca B
Maidenhead EnglandI am a mum of two kids and I have a lovely husband. I work a few hours a week and I am currently looking for a new job and a new direction. I love music and my favourite thing to do is sing! I also love exercise and love walking.
My name is Rebecca and I had suffered from depression throughout my teens and up to recently in my late 30’s. I am forever reading self-help books and listening to podcasts to try to change my mindset. A week ago I listened to Rhonda Byrne on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place Podcast. I realized that in my drawer next to my bed I already had the book, The Secret.
Years ago I had bought The Secret and I flicked through it thinking that I’d like to win some money but I didn’t really read it. Listening to Rhonda’s voice evoked an urge to read The Secret again but properly this time. I read it all within 24 hours and to be honest, I already realized what I had to do after hearing Rhonda’s voice. What happened after that was just life changing.
Now I didn’t suddenly win the lottery or anything but I finally feel like a happy person. For someone who had always been battling depression, this was a complete revelation!
What I do is, I do not allow any negative thoughts in. When that thought arrives, I imagine it inside a bubble and I pop that bubble and it goes away. I have continued to use this method and have woken up every morning feeling so grateful. I do daily gratitude practices. I say thank you as I put each foot down onto the ground as I get out of bed.
I am currently looking for a job. I had been finding it so hard as my confidence had taken a real knocking. But now, this week I have 3 job interviews lined up! Since changing my mindset, the emails started coming in for interviews! It’s not a coincidence. I am visualizing what I want and I know that I will get it, and I know I already have it anyway.
The point of my story is that everyone has the ability to use The Secret. I just wish I had realized it years ago. And it really is so simple too!
The impact my change has had on my family has also been amazing. Both of my children have noticed my positive outlook and in the mornings getting them to school isn’t the usual rush. We always seem to get there on time and suddenly I don’t even worry about the school gates anymore. I used to be self-conscious and compare myself to the other mums. But now, I simply don’t care!
I have been sleeping better and my digestion is so much better. I have always been a sufferer of IBS but now I feel like my body is finally relaxed and not going through turmoil. I always have had body dysmorphia and I now look at myself differently. I appreciate things and feel thankful for the figure I have and the fact that I can exercise every day.
I could go on and write so much more but the main message is that The Secret is so there, in front of everyone. My husband has always known it and used to tell me but I guess I wasn’t ready until now.
I want to thank Rhonda, as hearing her voice changed everything for me and I now feel a happiness I have never experienced before. Thank you, Rhonda, you have changed my life.
