About Me

Eilidh Horder and Suki the cat on shoulder B&W

Hi! I'm Eilidh, a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser currently based in the Belgian Ardennes with my musical partner, two children with super powers, six stray cats (at the last count) and Fido the Romanian rescue dog. He happens to have PTSD so he fits in well here.

The aim of this emotional and mental health blog is to share my experiences and reach out to others who might relate - a little reminder that we are not alone 🥰

Let’s talk about finding deeper meaning, peace, acceptance and self-knowledge. Love is all!

💖 A gift - Link in Profile 💖 ✨ Sometimes, 💖 A gift - Link in Profile 💖 ✨ Sometimes, through years of repeating old habits, & patterns of doing what we think we ‘should’ be doing, of what’s expected of us, we end up living in a self-constructed cage 😞 🥺 With so much ‘stuff’ in our lives, so many distractions, it can be too easy to lose sight of what’s important to us 🎼 🌸 Through self-care practices, you can undo those ingrained habits, & dismantle that cage. You can learn to be free again, to make room in your life for what matters 🔥 👉 This Self-Care Starter Kit is a PDF which first explains who (do I think) I am(!) to tell anybody about self-care 😐 🙃 I used to think self-care was self-indulgent nonsense for rich people with time on their hands 🤑 🌧️ That changed with a breakdown & I spent years learning various techniques to feel better in my skin ⛅ 🙏 There's also a meditation I created - I hope it brings you peace 🧘 Do you struggle with overwhelm? If so, I hope this helps 🥰 🥰 Link in profile 🥰 ... #bloggersofinstagram #blogger #mentalhealthblog #emotionalhealthblog #writer #writersofinstagram #wellbeing #wellbeingwriter #wellness #healthandwellbeing #self-care #self-careisntselfish #self-care toolkit #self-care starter kit #kindness #self-caregift #wellbeingblog #self-carehabits #self-love #meditate #meditation #mindfulness #mindfulnessmeditation #guidedmeditation
