Seemingly, my body is not designed for pregnancy and structurally it would appear that I’m held together with Pritt Stick glue. My joints are hyper mobile which resulted in SPD (Symphysis Pubis Disfunction) - an incredibly painful condition ‘down there’ due to the weight and positioning of the baby. This meant from months 4-9 of my pregnancies I was in excruciating agony almost all of the time, including at night, so I barely slept. Then there was labour and the joys of natural childbirth, plus an optional extra of a migraine on top. Yay, go me! Thankfully, the only perk of SPD (for me at least) was hastened 7 hour births, and then all I wanted was to sleep. I had months of painful sleeplessness and exhaustion to recover from, but do you suppose Steve let me sleep? Did he hell… because *he* was tired too. He even held my hand during my daughter’s birth and told me earnestly and emotionally “I’m really going to look after you Karan” - which didn’t ever materialise - as he insisted we took it in shifts (one night on, one night off) to get up and look after the baby; he needed his sleep too you understand. It was cruel and unusual to be sure and felt tortuous at the time, as I was never allowed to fully recover or restore. After a couple of weeks, he went back to work and I was expected to start from where I’d left off, supporting him in his business, like nothing had happened. Whilst the world often stopped for man-flu, I couldn’t dare be ill, or have any time off after e.g.: miscarriages, treatment/surgery or following the death of my dad and more recently my mum. In fact, he left me for Helen three weeks after mum died, and two days after her funeral. So you see why I’m Too Relieved To Grieve now the trash took itself out? Because a catch he ain’t! Oh sure, he’s other c-words I can think of, but none of them are “catch”. Read how this how saga started, progressed and ended in my long awaited memoir Too Relieved To Grieve | The Alternative Heartbreak Handbook, available from Amazon and on Kindle now: https://amzn.to/2Y4sC0s (link in bio) #toorelievedtogrieve #thealternativeheartbreakhandbook #karanscottauthor #karanscott #karanscottcoaching #memoir https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn9sCnQNxot/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you were to break a bone in your leg, a doctor would have to realign and reset that bone in order for it to heal correctly — and then the bone would be stronger in the once broken part. Well, the same rules apply for your mind. Trauma, or conditioning from the world around you, can lead to your mind becoming misaligned, requiring a healing reset. There’s no shame in this, it’s just something that happens to all of us at some point or another, so please don’t hobble around on the broken and misaligned parts of yourself. Let’s talk.

Lovely feedback from Kellie this morning, who decided to give my ‘Sleepy Train Ride’ guided meditation a go last night. Bearing in mind that for the small cost of a bottle of wine (that’ll be gone and forgotten quickly), Kellie now has this meditation on her phone forever and can listen to it as often as she wants, or needs to. When I asked her if it was worth it, she replied: “Absolutely!!” Would you, or someone you know, like to give it a try? Is there a desperate need to sleep deeply?

On Sunday 1st September 2013, my Mum passed away suddenly and unexpectedly and, as the excerpt outlines below, the grief did indeed hit me like a truck. Eight years later, and for those who have read #TooRelievedToGrieve will understand perfectly, I am pleased and relieved to report that Mum and I are now closer and stronger together than ever. Whilst 2013 truly walloped me with a ‘Horrible September’ — first losing my Mum and then my husband within a mere 23 days — I can look back now, shake my head a little with a knowing smile and state unequivocally: “WORTH IT!” Yes, I lost a lot back then, in a short amount of time. Yes, the combined loss hurt like hell. Yes, the children and I were plunged into a disorientating swirl of chaos, poverty and grief for a long while but we managed to claw back more than we lost — and, as it happens, I never did actually lose Mum. So, here’s to you Mum, happy anniversary, I love you and thank you for absolutely everything! 💕 Read all about it | https://amzn.to/2Y4sC0s (link in bio) #linkinbio #toorelievedtogrieve #thealternativeheartbreakhandbook #karanscott #karanscottauthor #memoir #heartwrenching #heartbreaking #grief #anniversary #mumdied #iloveyoumum #spirituality #spiritualism #clairaudient #clairvoyant #mediumship #channelling #strongertogether #grieving #dontstandatmygraveandweep #authorlife #newbookstagram #newbookalert #kindle #kindleunlimited #bookstoread #bookideas #whattoreadnext https://www.instagram.com/p/CTRazO9otLT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Reject subtext and deal with what’s what, not what you think is what. Too many relationships suffer from being lost in translation, whether that’s marital, parental, friendship, colleague, acquaintance or anything else. Speak deliberately to be understood and listen mindfully to understand. #betterlife #betterrelationships #betteryou #karanscott #transformationalcoaching #transformationalcoach #karanscottcoaching #karanscottmentoring #karanscottnlpperformancecoach #nlppractitioner #nlpcoaching #nlpcoach #improveyourlife #improveyourrelationships #improveyou #personaldevelopment #growth #growthmindset #mindset #mindsetcoach #mindsetcoaching #sundayvibes #sunday #sundaysoul https://www.instagram.com/p/CSlqhRojfZx/?utm_medium=tumblr
