Throughout our lives we receive all sorts of messages about the type of person we should be, whether it is an advert telling us how to look or a relative directing us towards certain decisions. With all this information streaming in telling us what we should be, we can lose track of what we want and what gives us satisfaction.
There is not a simple solution that will work for everyone. Various aspects such as exercise, sleep, diet, and medication can play a role and sometimes it can be helpful to take this journey with someone else.
Talking and exploring is a way to help us uncover what we really want and need from our life. Through counselling we might work together to find ways to understand your priorities, what drives you and ultimately what gives you meaning and happiness.
If your mood is low or you are depressed you are not alone and there is support out there for you. Whether it is changing your lifestyle, visiting you doctor or exploring therapy, taking action will help to alleviate the feelings you are experiencing and allow you to start enjoying life again.
