Desperate to be Loved

About the authorI'm Kelly Saward, and I help people to change their lives through breath, mindfulness and self-love. If you are dealing with stress and anxiety, or have ever felt lost, lonely and unloved, I hope my books can help you.In a desperation to find my ideal version of love, or what I thought it 'should' look like, I lost myself for a while there.I became addicted to anxiety; this was my way out. My safety net! Sounds crazy, but true. After quite a journey I started to understand what I was doing, looking for a perfect love in all the wrong places! Discoveries surfacing through writing and meditation. A new mindful way of living, things started to become a little clearer. My days became a little less fearful and my life a little brighter. My faith and connection with love restored. I share with you in this book, what helped me, the magic of feeling love and understanding, that this won't or can't look the same to us all. Showing up everyday and trusting what you know holds so much value.Don't try and change who you are, try and find who you are instead.When anxiety became present with my youngest daughter, I knew I needed to find the tools for her and also myself to be able to deal with our anxiety and create a safe space for us both and not let the anxiety rule our daily lives. We began doing breathing techniques, including the 4-7-8 breathing method, which is one we really enjoy together, you will find this technique in the book and so much more. I hope you enjoy reading it and if you do, please let me know whet you think.There are so many ways to work with me, check out the back of the book or visit my website 'ROOM 478''When we build habits from love, we find ourselves, when we build habits from fear, we lose ourselves.' - Kelly Saward**Book Reviews**'This book is beautifully written, with an honest and open approach. I can only compare it to having your best friend holding your hand, supporting and encouraging you to be you; leading you on your own path to self discovery. There is so much wisdom in the words. The experience of the author, which she has been courageous enough to share, I believe will resonate with so many readers. It is easy to read, and I couldn't put it down! I have been practicing Mindfulness for a year and have learnt so much from this book, but believe even those experienced in Mindfulness will gain so much from an author writing from her heart and willing to share experiences of her personal journey, overcoming her own anxiety and lack of self worth. I feel privileged to have read this beautiful book. I felt I too was on a journey, realising that we must love ourselves first, before we can even begin to experience all that life has to offer, if we just take a moment to notice. This book is truly inspirational, uplifting, full of hope and tracks a positive journey of self discovery. I thank the author for all that she has shared. I loved the meditations and the poems that were also included. I highly recommend this book.'Joanne F A beautifully written book, which I would recommend to anyone. Definitely a 'must read'. - NW
