A brief introduction to the 2nd series of Small steps to self love and empowerment. This series will concentrate on addiction, a subject I know lots about, overcoming addiction myself, and now being 15 years clean. This will give you an insight how to help yourself become free of addiction.

Sometimes it's easy to worry about how others react in situations, we get anxious and worried about what others think. The only thing we have control over is ourselves, focussing on that becomes easier the more we do it.

My take on meditation, the benefits, what is meditation, and a short non scripted guided meditation.

It's all well and good allowing the feelings of sadness and anger to flow through us. The healing is in the feeling and releasing of these emotions. Emotions we could have been holding on to for many years.

Distractions are fleeting, they give us feelings of wholeness but for a second.

What is a trigger? How can we go about changing our reaction to triggers?

Red flags are an indicator that something isn't quite right. We feel it in our gut. How we choose to deal with them is down to us.

What does self love look like to you? What actions can you take to fill your own cup?

The same kind of experiences happen, when we don't learn from the lessons life gives us. Once we realise we are on a gerbil wheel of the same lesson we can take steps to get off it and move forward.

To align with our authentic selves we have to be honest about who we truly are, admit our faults, what we want and where we want to go.
