In the ‘Don’t Blow my Cover’ series, Irene illustrates how people get stuck in their own beliefs and those of others, how tinted their view on life can be, how other people’s opinion influence them, and how all this affects not only their outlook and attitude but also their body. How layers are building up that block us from truly being who we are.

She also expresses hope by showing the support that is always available to us, the tools we can use to raise our awareness so we can gracefully change our story, and access the next ‘feeling-good’ level.

I strongly believe we are born with a magnificent internal guiding system. Call it sixth sense or intuition. Throughout our lives, we tend to fill our headspace with other people’s opinions; what society dictates about how things are supposed to be done. Often enough, we are unaware that most of our beliefs are rooted in these external influences. Becoming more mindful helps us to discover what they are, giving us an opportunity to replace them with thoughts and ideas that serve us to live a more joyful life.’
