To ask what changed your life dramatically for the better?

[youneeQuorn]

Did you find something that just changed life for you?

Be it yoga, meditation, religion, medication, therapy, a new hobby - that sort of thing

Splitting up with ex-p.

Best thing ever!

Alcohol

Giving up caffeine.

Having DC. Nothing has ever given me a much joy or purpose in life.

Joining the company I work for now.

Having breakfast.

I went from a nauseous, moody, shaky mess that was missing out on half a day to a happy, balanced, capable person who loves mornings.

My son. Before him I had clinical depression and was on medication. Since him my depression is in remission.

Sex and gin

Camping and Weightlifting.

Home education!

After yrs of fighting to get the right support for Dd3 we found home ed and its bloody brilliant

Citalopram! And also my DS but I suspect I would have split from DH if not for the meds so I wouldn't have had DS without them.

Yoga - the benefits aren't just physical, though those are also significant.

Letting go of my guilt/shame (it took a priest looking at me and saying "really? that's it?" though!). Marrying my husband. Looking at my newborn baby and realising that, for him, I would do anything, risk anything, give anything and never be afraid to fight for him.
All of these.

Becoming a Christian when I was a teenager. My lifestyle at the time didn't really change that much, but I started to take steps towards a very different future. All of my life choices as an adult have been shaped by my faith.

ineedmore we planned to HE DS before conception :)

Giving up caffeine.

How did that help you? I drink gallons of tea. Do you feel better without caffeine?

Running!!!

Running a half marathon.... Then London Marathon.... And an ultra of 62 miles planned for next year!

I love to run!! Started 5 years ago thanks to a mumsnet thread!!

Ditching some toxic friends

Well we still plan to HE but it was a condition of getting pregnant

Accepting myself.

Major surgery (one of first people to have this op) No more operations and hospital appointments. being able to breathe and feel so much better and do things like a normal person.

Stopping contact with my mother and having therapy about it.

A book called he's just not that into you.

A few years therapy

Genuinely starting to like myself. I faked it in the beginning but made myself say one nice thing about me everyday in the mirror. Now I genuinely believe it. It upped my self worth immeasurably

Go for it calpol its fab

DH first, then DC arrived and now it is simple pleasures.
