And sometimes that is essential.

And I could sort of feel myself fighting it for a few days before, which is exhausting, sort of trying to resist hitting a big low.

But actually, what I remembered and relearned was that sometimes when you get either rock bottom or you just hit a low point, you've got no choice but to surrender.

And in that moment, that is what I did.

I was just like, well, I just feel like shit and I'm not coping well with what's going on in my life and whatever.

And from that low, that sort of surrender, actually came a bit of peace.

And it's given me the opportunity to see things from a different angle, approach things with a different mindset.

Like, it's been sort of extraordinary.

So although nothing much has changed, everything's changed in terms of how I'm looking at things.

I don't know how long it's going to last.

I might feel like shit tomorrow.

Who knows?

But as I record this today, I'm feeling pretty good because I let myself reach that low.

So if you're feeling utterly shit at the moment or you're resisting a big low, as long as you feel supported enough, I'd say go with it and let yourself feel your feelings, essentially.

As long as you've got good people around you that can support you if needed or friends you can pick up the phone and talk to, it's no bad thing.

And often it gives us an opportunity to reset, start again, think of things differently.

So that's the headspace I'm in.

And I was actually in that headspace when I recorded this brilliant chat.

God, I love this woman and I love this chat.

Let's talk about Brilliant Louise.
