"It's not about what you think, but what you do."

That's what I've found out on my own, not actively chosen journey through misery. So when I felt much better again, and funny enough thankful for everything these tought times taught me, I made a decision: I will develop a book for me, with all things that supported my journey, so in case I would go trough a similar journey again, it would help me. It became:

Full of all the tips, tricks, activities, and stories that truly helped me back on my feet.

‘Cause reading is often just impossible with a head full of thoughts!

For all you notes and thoughts. ‘Cause this is your journey.

Will you give yourself (or someone else) this book?

...the book is not anymore just for me, it's helping thousends of people in my homecountry the Netherlands. And if you can use some guidance along your journey, I can send an English book to you today.

"Dear Marieke, a short message to thank you. Thank you for making this book. Every time I thought I was alone I figured 'huh, Marieke experienced this as well', read a comforting story or some lovely words. Thank you so much! Your book was my best friend on my journey!"

Private message Anne

"Wow what a lovely book! Straight from the heart, full of love, encouraging, positivity (even though it's about a negative situation), lovingly inspiring and especially a lot of practical exercises and tips. I would definitely recommend this book, even when you're not experiencing a heavy burn-out. Thank you!"

Vicky

"Finally a book that helps me through the days when I don't visit my psychologist. Nobody talks about this, but Marieke does! A lovely book for people that can use the extra support during times of burn-out and depression!"

Lotte

"I've gifted the book to a friend that went through rough times. She's really thankful and enjoys the honest and authentic way it's written. She recognised many situations and thoughts. The combination of powerful words and exercises gave her a lot of support.
Even though I'm not suffering from depression, I've ordered more books for myself and my teams at work as it's such a positive vibe that I can recommend to anyone."

Hugo

"I recommend this colourful book for times that you'd like to feel more happy. It starts with the cover!
I've recommended the book in my professional career as
psychologist. I'm a fan!"

“One thing's for sure: the next weeks you can find me with a pen, Marieke's book and a blanket on the couch. Not because I have to due to a mental disease, no! Because I'm looking forward to some quality time with this beautiful book."

about me

Hi, I'm Marieke! An optimistic, adventurous, marketing manager, illustrator, creative, do-gooder, and a happy dreamer of course!… Until suddenly I wasn't all that anymore. In the summer of 2015 - while I had my dream job and was super happy living with my husband Lars in Australia - I fell into a cloud of anxiety, fear and panic. The situation was urgent and we had to decide to move back to The Netherlands.

There I was, with anxiety, a deep depression, burn-out, or whatever you’d like to call it. Without any idea or hope how I would ever get out if this mess. Or even worse, I was absolutely certain I would never feel better again. The end of an adventure? The end of Marieke? Or was it a new beginning?

Yes, it was! I’ve done a lot of things and slowly but steadily I started feeling better. When I felt fully recovered I made this book, so whenever I should go through a similar situation again, I would have a step by step guide to get out of the situation.  After receiving a lot of positive feedback I decided to make copies so other people could use it as well. And now it’s here for you. Fully re-drawn and rewritten in English. It’s my wish for you that it will help you as it helped me. 

"This is not an expensive book, but valuable therapy. I didn't beliee it myself, but this book has helped me more than my previous 11 practisioners. Thank you Marieke!" follower on facebook
