My sensory process

Date 1 November 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
It has taken me too many years to understand how my sensory issues work. It doesn’t matter how many questions other people ask, if the questions I need to ask don’t concur with the questions other people have asked, the thoughts sadly attached to my own thinking, can make ...

Creating success

Date 29 October 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
People don’t always consciously think about success, but will often look for ways to be successful. If we were to think about success in this way, we will have already failed through the pressures of thinking we need to succeed and being worried that we wouldn’t. How we choose to…

Being gracious

Date 26 October 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
With no support and dealing with physical and emotional problems, as a child my attitude was far from graceful. I didn’t emotionally equate or understand back then why I was so angry. It would go on to take many years for my father to tell a close family member that…

What I have learned

Date 18 October 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
Life and the universe teaches us the most incredible things, so long as we choose and continue to see the things that are presented to us. Over the years and looking back, I have learned that even through the darkest times, I have come to see the moments that we’re…

What would you change?

Date 14 October 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
If you had the opportunity to turn back the clock what would you change? I suppose to answer that question depends at what point in our life we’re asked and how we feel about our past. If you asked me that same question 7 or 8 years ago, I would…

Toxic behaviour

Date 11 October 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
Toxic people may not inherently be bad people, but they’re clearly not the people we would want to spend our free time with. When it comes to toxic behaviour, not all toxic people are uncaring or agonising on purpose, although I can see why we think that they are, particularly…

Closing doors

Date 7 October 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
Unconsciously, in our mind we close the door because of our inability to see our worth. We close the door because of our negative thinking that what’s beyond the door is too difficult, so we let someone else deal with it. We continue to close the door because we feel…

Date 5 October 2015
Author Ilana Estelle

My health thoughts

Date 4 October 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
Living every day with a condition we’re born into, where there is no cure is like living with a cloud over our heads. Because I have and deal with Cerebral Palsy there is and will always be less certainty over my health. There is not enough information out there on…

A late learner

Date 2 October 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
By the time we’ve got into our twenties having made it through our adolescence years, we’ve usually managed to fathom ourselves out, what makes us who we are and how we think and feel about ourselves. For some of us it may take longer to work things out. Because it…

Our whole selves

Date 1 October 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
If we break a leg, we have a broken leg, but then how does a broken leg constitute us being broken? We’re broken, well not in the true sense of the word. I’m not sure I agree with the analogy that we ‘are broken.’ We get to call the shots…

Another revelation

Date 28 September 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
There isn’t a day go by, where I’m not having to piece something together based on my Cerebral Palsy diagnosis. Often from nowhere, a conversation will bring a new understanding into the equation and that’s another piece of the jigsaw fixed. Listening to a friend talking, whose son has learning…
