Reset Your Life (Health) – a community for individuals looking for natural, alternative and spiritual ways to fix your health.
Welcome to my Blog! My mission is to help those of you looking for answers on how to heal your health naturally, particularly when other methods of healing may have failed you.
But first – how did I get here? Well, it’s a story I wished I hadn’t lived but I feel like I had to in order to become a healthier, calmer and happier version of myself.
Brief Background – A few years ago, I had my first panic attack. I had no idea what was happening to me and I thought I was going to die!! My heart started racing, I felt very light headed, detached from my body and I struggled to catch my breath. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. However, within weeks I had massive terrorising panic attacks every day! These consumed my daily existence and they had stopped me from living a normal life.
Daily tasks like driving to work, going to the shops, dropping my daughter off to school, driving on freeways/highways and other daily chores became (literally) impossible due to the overwhelming terror I felt each time I did them.
So, I stopped.
Literally.
I quit my job as I couldn’t handle the 30-minute commute on the freeway and the pressure of my corporate job. I stopped going to the shop, I stopped dropping my daughter to school (I arranged for a friend to do this), I stopped travelling ANYWHERE and I basically stayed at home. Trapped by my own fear, this invisible, suffocating ‘monster’ had taken over my life and I was now living in fear within my own world. I was being held prisoner within my own body and I didn’t know how to free myself.
At first, I went to the doctor and he didn’t really know what was wrong me with me, so I went to another one. He stated that I had anxiety and he wanted to put me on antidepressants. However, I didn’t feel depressed, I just felt paralysed with fear. A fear of ‘nothing’? So, I felt he really didn’t know how to help me either. By my third doctor (and third diagnosis recommending I take strong medication to ‘manage’ my condition – as he stated it couldn’t be fixed), I decided it was time to move away from traditional medicine and try alternative treatments.
So, I spent months and months (and THOUSANDS of dollars) trying many different types of therapies. Hypnosis, NLP, CBT, psychiatrist, therapist, naturopath, homeopath, acupuncture, energy healing – you name it, I tried it – and although I did receive light relief from some of them, many of them didn’t even make a difference.
My panic attacks always returned, full of vengeance and making me feel more defeated and hopeless, with a feeling that I may never find a solution!! Fortunately, I have always been a fighter so although I kept getting knocked down, I would always wake up the next day ready for my next battle.
That’s when I thought that the only person who could heal me was ME! So, I started researching like a crazy person. I read so many books, articles, documents, basically anything I could get my hands on. I read anything that would help me to work out what was going on with me. The more I discovered, the more my thirst for information increased, until it became so insatiable I barely slept from excitement. I started implementing the information I had read and within 6 months I had completely healed myself.
And when I say that I ‘healed myself’, I mean I completely changed my life. I was now a BETTER version of myself – Gigi 2.0…!! My anxiety, panic attacks and agoraphobia have now completely disappeared. My energy is through the roof, I think clearly and my memory is now amazing! I feel calm and relaxed each day and I no longer ‘sweat the small stuff’. My weight is no longer a problem (I lost 99 pounds) and I am often told that I look much younger than my actual age (a girl loves to hear that – ha ha)!! I feel AMAZING and I’m here to tell you that – YOU CAN TOO!!!
One important lesson that I learnt through this whole process is that no matter where you are in regards to your health, you can press the ‘reset’ button TODAY. Regardless of what others are telling you, you don’t have to accept it. You control you!! If you are unhappy with your current health situation – change it!
So, join me and the Reset Your Life (RYL) community and become a RYL ‘Soldier’ – Powerful and Strong. I’m looking forward to sharing stories of triumph and change with you. So, let’s begin……
