Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Spiritual Awakening
As a person who has sufferred 35 years of abuse by various people in my life you can imagine the amount of toxic stress released into my body. As a result of this I suffer from Fibromyalgia and Functional Neurological Disorder, I am 39 years old. I worked as a carer for 17+ years and then went to uni and graduated as a nurse in 2013, unfortunatley I was signed off work in Jun 2020 due to ongoing seizures. It was during this time I realised how much I had neglected my own self-care needs because I was too focused on caring for others. It was then I decided I was going to put myself first for a change, not in a selfish way but in a way that made my own wellness matter especially my emotional health. As a sufferer of PTSD this is very important in order to live a relatively normal life, so I started to meditate. I lit candles, used oil burners that sent the aroma of Laveneder through the house and played music that was aimed at balancing all my chakras. Not knowing what these were I started to study and research so I had all the right information so I could do it right. I also used to be a negative thinker my therapist told me that this was my thoughts and all the negative things I had been told almost my entire life. I am not my thoughts I am not my thoughts I kept telling myself in my head. It was during this time something started to happen to me, I just felt different. I was no longer in an abusive relationship I had finally found a loving man who dotes on me, he has helped me heal immensely. As it was nearing xmas time my stress levels hightened so I started doing 2 meditations per day once in the morning usually aimed at healing and keeping my chakras aligned and the other one I did at night before I fell asleep. I had no idea the amount of guided meditations and music there were there are litarally thousands and thousands. I noticed one on meeting your spirit guides I did this one for 7 days before bed, I had an encounter with spirit my best friend who sadly died but they told me everything was gonna be alright, I felt so calm and warm, after this my intuition got better and my level of conciousness opened up and my third eye opened up for sure, if anyone is interested in meditation I would highly recommend it.

Finding Your Joy
Each new year brings with it new opportunities as well as facing new challenges. I find it advantageous to spend time reflecting on what changes I want to make from last year and setting intentions on where I want to go over the next twelve months.

5 Ways To Control Self-doubt By Building A Healthy Relationship With Yourself
Self-doubt has the power to hold us back. I spent most of my life doubting myself, my capabilities. I knew I was hard-working and had a vision. I was sure if I worked on a plan and worked hard, and I could live that vision and reach my highest potential.

Tales of Tarots
Tales of Tarot I need to cut my tongue. And voice. And my hands, and fingers. I have to burn my keyboard, cut and burn and smash whatever capable of communication. Cut! Gone! I need to reach the Death of thoughts, mow the essence of my passion, cut the unease with one, precise swing of sword; transform, renew and find an end to all this inner turmoil.

A New Beginning
Recently it has come to my attention that I am not who I thought I was. Unfortunatly, I came to this conclusion because I actually started to see the wall I was slamming my head against. The wall I put up to keep everyone else out. The wall that I was hiding behind so comfortably that I created my own little world behind it and told myself and everyone else that the other side didn't exist.

The process
Clear the space. Move all things out of the way that may be a distraction. Things are like thoughts - they take your mind away from what should be focused on. For some an empty space might not be available. For some there may be so much clutter in the area and in the mind that finding the clearance may be close to impossible. We move on. We do our best. We focus.

Keeping on Track
Everyone's had one of those days. You know the ones - you finally succeeded in doing something nice for someone, or generally making the world a little bit better...but nobody really cares. What's more, if you try to make anyone else aware of your good deeds, you'll likely be labelled as 'attention-seeking' or 'selfish', just for wanting your due thanks.

Three weeks in....
Last year....or was it the year before I decided to be one of those people who join the Gym and give them money for free while I decided to not go to the gym! Yeah it didn't work out along with the rest of those individuals who gave up. It just wasn't for me being amongst strangers sweating and panting working hard while I couldn't even figure out how to turn on the bike machine! I decided this year would be different I wouldn't lock myself in a room or force myself to run on a machine.
