Forgiveness can come in many forms. I find forgiving people really hard, however, I have spent time with my therapist & taken time to understand what forgiveness for me, really means. Hopefully this episode will help you find closure on a situation. Along with my usual catch up & general rambling.

I think there is a lot online about healing through hard times however I believe that there is a missing element of how to practically deal with seeing pictures of ex's, or seeing them on social media etc. Its very easy to SAY just block them but in reality its not that easy. Yes you need to learn to love yourself however I have learnt a way of dealing with the practical steps in healing after a break up. I hope they too help you or someone you might know that is going through a tough time. Coupled with the usual Loula catch up, general distractions and the fear that my office desk was going to collapse...

A topic that came up with my best friend this week was exercise guilt and how it effects me. I didn't realise how effected I am when I miss a run therefore I decided to talk on it and hopefully share some valuable coping mechanisms. A long with the usual Loula chats & general rambling.

Sometimes we all just need a laugh. This week I have unfortunately had to under another round of procedures. Instead of dwelling on the negatives I have tried to focus on the positives. I think it is so important to be able to have a good laugh even when life is tough so in this episode I read out some of the funniest running stories I found on Redit. If your driving home from a rubbish day or your out on a head clearing run/walk get this episode on its guaranteed to make you laugh.

A little life update & a light hearted chatty episode. I have shared a lot on my running account & so sometimes I get DMs asking how I am. So I decided to talk through how my outlook on my situation has changed & share how I have been able to see so much positivity in such a heart-breaking situation. I then downloaded Threads half way through - the rest is history.

I was a beginner once with a dream of completing a half marathon. I have since gone on to run many more and two marathons. You CAN do it, you just have to be serious about it. In this episode I talk through the practical steps that helped me. I also go though how I mentally get through the miles on race day and I finish with a few recovery tips. Running a half marathon takes time and training but like I always say ' You can achieve anything you put your mind to.'

This isn't a quick fix, however its the best method I have learnt through therapy to really understand why certain things make me feel anxious. I think it is so easy to say something makes you feel anxious but understanding why is the most important part for combatting anxiety attacks and episodes. Finding out what triggers you can be hard and extremely uncomfortable so its important to take your time. Up until last year I had never suffered with anxiety or panic attacks therefore I am still learning so much about coping and living with them, however, I hope learning about this 5 stage method helps you as much as it helped me.

It is really easy to think you are the only person in the world going through a break up. It is also really easy to get comfortable with feeling sad, trust me I went through it last year. I still have sad days and there is nothing wrong with that. However, in this episode I go through a few things that have allowed me to find a lot of peace. These things are things I wish people said to me last year, therefore I am sharing them to help others who might be struggling with having to face a completely new life alone.
