Impact

“I can't express how much this has transformed my life—it has positively impacted every aspect. Reflecting on my life experiences has given me a new perspective, bringing me peace of mind. I no longer stress. 'I can't' has become 'maybe I can.' I'm now more spontaneous, tolerant, and open minded. I go with the flow of life every day instead of resisting it.”

“I used to feel anxious for days before going to the job centre, replaying every negative thought and overthinking the situation. Now, I find it a very calm experience. I’m more confident and listening more to my inner wisdom. The job centre has a programme coming up that I’m considering positively, something I wouldn’t have entertained before ASOH. I used to have many judgmental thoughts about myself, lacked self-worth, and felt others were laughing at me. Now, I see that those were just thoughts I made up about myself.”

“ASOH has helped me stop hating myself. I appreciate how nobody was teaching us a specific technique, but instead showing us that we can create the space to let go of negative thoughts. I’ve learned that I don’t have to always act on my first thought. Knowing I can do this anywhere has been incredibly helpful.”

“ASOH has helped me look at my entire thought process differently. I now realise how I kept myself stuck in a bad situation by repeatedly thinking about it, even long after it had passed, causing me to stay in that negative feeling. I’m starting to see things differently—it’s like you guys are in my head. I've also noticed that I don’t question people as much anymore because I understand that they can’t read my thoughts and I can’t read theirs. The impact on my life has been profound.”

“The programme has helped me in many ways. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety for years. When my dog recently became very ill, I would usually have been overwhelmed with worry, impacting my mental health. By learning not to react to my thoughts in the moment, I found great relief. Listening to you all has really cleared my mind and shown me that living without depression and anxiety is possible— something I never thought I could achieve.”

“Before I started with ASOH, my life was a complete mess. I had been trapped in an abusive relationship and found it hard to escape my past. This service has connected me with like-minded individuals and helped me realise there is a way out so that I can experience peace of mind. I've learned to be kinder to myself, take my time, and let my feelings come and go without attaching any meaning to them. Now, I trust the process more and allow life to unfold naturally.”

“Before attending A Slice of Happiness, I lived in constant anxiety, with daily negative thoughts and feelings. After participating in your sessions, my life changed dramatically. I gained a better understanding of the mind, thoughts, and feelings. I stopped believing the negative thoughts that came to my attention, which greatly improved my relationships with others and myself. I now have a completely new relationship with my family, understanding that they are not the cause of how I feel.”

“A Slice of Happiness gave me hope again that I could be better and I feel like I have started to find me again. I don’t feel so lost and alone anymore. I used to feel like I was alone suffering and now I see so many people go through things like me. I hardly ever live In the past anymore as I have learnt not to pay attention to those thoughts. I feel like I finally have an understanding of why I am/was the way I am. I understand how thought works now whereas before I really didn’t understand how much of an impact thought had on our life’s. I used to constantly seek answers to my problems, but now I've learned to let go and trust that the answers will come naturally.”

“I've been facing challenges with the cost of living, but I'm learning to accept the situation and remain open to possibilities. In the past, I would have panicked, but now I trust that solutions will present themselves when needed. I've realised that I already possess everything I need within myself, so I'm turning inward for guidance instead of avoiding the issues. Panicking won't change anything, and I don’t make good decisions when I am in that state of mind.”

“I’ve had a big shift. I've started connecting more with people instead of sitting in my feelings. I've been feeling better every day since I've been sober. Things are occurring to me all the time. I thought I had a depressive nature and I've realised I don’t. I fully appreciate that I'm in a different place in myself now. I can see the beauty in things that I never noticed before. The most beautiful thing is, what comes next I don't know.”

“I gave up smoking! A posh voice (thought) kept coming in my head saying how wonderful I am and I don’t need to smoke. I have a more positive outlook on day to day life. I’m not interested in any of my negative thoughts anymore which I used to live and breathe from and exhausted me. All the bad thoughts get thrown in the bin. Others are noticing how I have changed. A big game changer for me was that I never knew we had the capacity to have another thought (perspective) if I didn’t like the first one. I now have a deep appreciation of being quiet, being able to experience a more connected feeling to myself and life.”

“At the beginning I thought it was a bit like mindfulness ... but it isn't - it's more basic than that! It's simple with no need to go for a walk or have a break. At some point it dropped ...and I realised what you were talking about. THANK YOU for encouraging me to keep going to the sessions. I had a breakthrough about my ex and the domestic abuse he put me through. I saw how I could experience my past in a different way that would not cause me so much pain anymore. This is helping me SO much.”
