I think you will find lots of things to help you. technically, you could look at this as the beginning of a very exciting journey. the first book i read that slowly changed my entrenched negative ways of thinking was 'you can heal your life' by Louise Hay. i think that could help you. i'm also your age, and we tend to go through a bit of a pre-thirty crisis but well done with your masters! congratulations on sticking with it :P) |
Ah you beat me to it.
I too was going to recommend Louise Hay's "You Can Heal Your Life".
If you don't feel like reading please (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE) get "You Can Heal Your Life" DVD (also PLEASE get the extended version with bonus CD because it has amazing information on it).
In the meantime, please don't be so hard on yourself.
