- [September Journey: When Trust & Relationships Have Been Hurt](https://www.blossome.support/2026/09/01/september-journey-when-trust-relationships-have-been-hurt/): This September in the Blossome Community we are exploring trust in relationships, the relationships we have with others and the relationship with ourselves.  When someone you love is living with addiction, trust can become complicated. Perhaps there have been promises that weren’t kept. Things you were told that later turned out not to be true. Money that disappeared. Plans that changed. Periods when everything seemed okay, only for another crisis to appear.
- [Why Do I Feel Guilty When I Set Boundaries?](https://www.blossome.support/2026/08/23/why-do-i-feel-guilty-when-i-set-boundaries/): Why do I feel guilty when I set boundaries?
- [How to Practise Self-Care When You Don’t Have Time](https://www.blossome.support/2026/08/16/how-to-practise-self-care-when-you-dont-have-time/): “I don't have time for self-care.” Perhaps you've thought this when life already feels full. Finding another half an hour to meditate, exercise, journal or do something “good for you” can feel like one more demand. But what if self-care isn't another thing you have to find time for?
- [How to Make Time for Yourself Without Feeling Guilty](https://www.blossome.support/2026/08/09/how-to-make-time-for-yourself-without-feeling-guilty/): There can be a lot to hold in a day. Things that need doing. People to think about. Messages to answer. Plans to make. Problems to solve. The small practical details of everyday life. And when you are used to thinking about other people, how they are, what they need, what might happen next, it can become very easy to lose sight of yourself. Not deliberately. You simply get pushed a little further down the list. This August at Blossome, our Sunday Self-care theme is Making Room for Yourself.
- [How to Feel More Present in Everyday Life](https://www.blossome.support/2026/07/20/how-to-feel-more-present-in-everyday-life/): This month, we've been exploring different ways of grounding ourselves, how to feel more present in everyday life. We've begun by arriving in our bodies. We've reflected on our relationship with rest. We've stepped outside and discovered how nature can help us find a little more space when life feels overwhelming.
- [When Life Feels Too Much, Step Outside](https://www.blossome.support/2026/07/12/when-life-feels-too-much-step-outside/): What do you do when life feels too much? When your mind is full. When your heart feels heavy. When you've had another difficult conversation. When the worry won't leave you alone. Over the years, I've discovered something surprisingly simple. I step outside. Not neccesarliy for an hour. Not for a long walk. Sometimes just for sixty seconds.
- [Finding your way back to being](https://www.blossome.support/2026/07/05/finding-your-way-back-to-being/): Have you ever reached the end of the day and realised you can't remember much of it? Our minds can become so busy worrying, planning, replaying conversations or trying to solve problems that we barely notice the day unfolding around us. For many years, that was my life.
- [Cultivating Happiness One Small Choice at a Time](https://www.blossome.support/2026/06/28/cultivating-happiness-one-small-choice-at-a-time/): As we come to the end of June and our month of Cultivating Happiness, I've been reflecting on the past week. It wasn't an extraordinary week. There were no big celebrations or life-changing moments.
- [Can You Acknowledge Your Own Courage?](https://www.blossome.support/2026/06/21/can-you-acknowledge-your-own-courage/): Today is Father's Day. For some, it will be a day of celebration. For others, it may feel tender. A day that brings memories to the surface. A reminder of someone who is no longer here. A relationship that was complicated. A father lost to addiction. A husband missed deeply.A family story that didn't unfold as hoped.
- [Gratitude Doesn’t Mean Ignoring What’s Hard](https://www.blossome.support/2026/06/14/gratitude-doesnt-mean-ignoring-whats-hard/): When people hear the word gratitude, they sometimes have mixed reactions. For some, it feels warm and uplifting. For others, it can feel frustrating or even give rise to sadness or anger. Especially when life is difficult. When you're carrying the impact of someone else's addiction, grief, loss, stress, or uncertainty, being told to "be grateful" can feel dismissive. As though you're being asked to ignore what hurts and focus only on the positives. That isn't what gratitude is.
- [Slowing Down Enough to Notice the Good](https://www.blossome.support/2026/06/08/slowing-down-enough-to-notice-the-good/): If you have been affected by someone who struggles with addiction, slowing down can feel almost impossible. You become used to being on alert. Listening for changes in someone's voice. Wondering what mood they'll be in when they walk through the door. Trying to anticipate problems before they happen. Preparing for the next crisis. Managing responsibilities that shouldn't all be yours to carry.
- [Happiness Starts with Noticing](https://www.blossome.support/2026/06/01/happiness-starts-with-noticing/): Many of us spend our days solving problems, meeting responsibilities, and focusing on what still needs attention. It's understandable because our brains are wired to scan for potential threats and challenges. And when you are affected by someone else's addiction, searching for the next drama or danger is very real. We can become stuck on high alert, constantly looking out for what might happen next.
- [A Safe Place to Learn Self-Compassion: The Story of The Tree Room](https://www.blossome.support/2026/04/28/a-safe-space-to-learn-self-compassion/): There’s a quiet moment that happens in the self-compassion sessions I teach at The Tree Room.
- [Choosing Joy on Mother’s Day](https://www.blossome.support/2026/03/15/choosing-joy-on-mothers-day/): On this day five years ago, I wrote about the feelings I was having on Mother’s Day.  It’s Mother’s Day here in the UK, which led me to reflect on my writing. I thought it might be helpful if I share some of these thoughts as I know how difficult this day can feel. If it is hard for you, please know like nature and the seasons, nothing is permanent. Everything is changing and how you feel will change too.
- [A Gentle Reawakening (because you don’t have to bloom yet)](https://www.blossome.support/2026/03/01/a-gentle-reawakening-because-you-dont-have-to-bloom-yet/): Today is the first of March.
- [Holding It All Together Even When It’s Heavy](https://www.blossome.support/2026/02/15/holding-it-all-together/): There’s a particular kind of strength that develops in families affected by addiction.
- [How to be Be Kind When Things Are Hard](https://www.blossome.support/2026/01/25/how-to-be-be-kind-when-things-are-hard/): By the end of January, many people notice a familiar shift. The intentions set at the start of the year feel harder to hold. Energy is lower than expected. Motivation hasn’t magically appeared. And somewhere in the background, a quiet inner voice may begin to say,  “I should be doing better by now.”
- [A fresh Start to the new year with gentle intentions](https://www.blossome.support/2026/01/11/a-fresh-start-to-the-new-year-with-gentle-intentions/): January has a habit of arriving with a lot of noise. New starts. New habits. Big plans. Messages that quietly suggest this is the moment you should finally get it together.
- [Change Happens from the Inside Out](https://www.blossome.support/2025/12/28/change-happens-from-the-inside-out/): I love this time of year, the space between what was and what could be. There’s a sense of freedom, joy, and possibility. I can feel a warmth in my body and a space where worry doesn’t fully take over.
- [When Surviving is Enough](https://www.blossome.support/2025/12/28/when-surviving-is-enough/): If you’re reading this and feeling tired, flat, or quietly overwhelmed, I want to begin by saying this clearly:
- [When Christmas Feels Heavy Name the Truth and Set a Boundary to Protect Your Heart](https://www.blossome.support/2025/12/15/when-christmas-feels-heavy-name-the-truth-and-set-a-boundary-to-protect-your-heart/): Christmas comes wrapped in a story of joy, togetherness and magic. But for many families living with the impact of addiction, the holidays can feel nothing like the adverts or the movies.
- [How December can feel easier with a 3-Minute Pause](https://www.blossome.support/2025/11/30/how-december-can-feel-easier-with-a-3-minute-pause/): If December has felt overwhelming in the past, you’re not alone, many in the Blossome Community are living in it and I’ve lived that too.
- [When Money Feels Like a Threat: Building Financial Stability in Small Steps](https://www.blossome.support/2025/11/16/when-money-feels-like-a-threat-building-financial-stability-in-small-steps/): For a long time, I worked myself to the bone just to keep a roof over our heads. I lived with the constant fear that it could all be taken away. I was sure that one day, someone would discover I wasn’t “good enough” at my career, and then the work – and the money – would disappear.
- [What I’m Learning About Money, Grief, and Self-Worth](https://www.blossome.support/2025/11/03/what-im-learning-about-money-grief-and-self-worth/): The ache that has followed me through birthdays didn’t begin with loss; it began long before my husband Chris died. It grew quietly as his drinking progressed, as he faded a little more from the life we once shared and planned. That ache was grief, and grief became the lens through which I saw myself - especially on days that were meant to feel joyful.
- [It’s Ok to Grieve in Your Own Way](https://www.blossome.support/2025/10/12/its-ok-to-grieve-in-your-own-way/): As autumn arrives, the trees begin their slow work of letting go. One by one, the leaves loosen their grip and fall to the ground below. There’s beauty in this surrender, the soft golden light, the quiet stillness, but also sadness. The trees don’t rush or resist, they simply release what they can no longer hold, trusting that something new will grow in time.
- [The Space Between Holding On and Letting Go](https://www.blossome.support/2025/10/06/the-space-between-holding-on-and-letting-go/): There’s a tender space between holding on and letting go, the place where grief lives. This month, in the Blossome Community, we’re exploring grief and letting go, trusting life to carry us forward with love.
- [Be a Slow Learner](https://www.blossome.support/2025/09/29/be-a-slow-learner/): When we’re healing or trying to care for ourselves, it’s tempting to want to “get there” quickly, to do it right, to finally feel better. This was how I felt, exhausted by years of trying to stay afloat in the wake of the chaos of my husband's alcohol dependency. I just needed relief — for the tension to ease, the aches to subside, and the migraines to stop. I couldn't take any more and I needed things to change - now.  I am sure that I am not alone in that feeling. It may be something that you can relate to. Self-compassion has helped ease this suffering and I am sure that it can help you too.
- [Coming Last and Learning to Be Kind to Myself](https://www.blossome.support/2025/09/29/coming-last-and-learning-to-be-kind-to-myself/): Earlier this month, members of the Blossome Community entered a kart into the local Colchester soapbox race. We all agreed on a team name, the Blossome Bloomers  - feeling that our “big girl pants” were necessary for what we had planned. We poured our hearts into crafting our team identity: designing a special t-shirt, painting banners, and wearing old-fashioned bloomers with pink ribbons, lovingly hand-sewn. We tied cards to flowers, ready to hand out over 200 blooms to those who came to watch – spreading joy and raising awareness of Blossome. That was our true goal for the day.
- [What’s On in the Blossome Community this September](https://www.blossome.support/2025/09/01/whats-on-in-the-blossome-community-this-september/): September is nature’s reminder of the beauty of letting go. As the leaves begin to fall, we too can allow ourselves to release what no longer serves us, making space for new emotions, new growth, and new ways of being. Letting go isn’t easy, but self-compassion makes it easier. By treating yourself with kindness and understanding, you become less critical and more able to release past hurts and difficult emotions. This month, join us in gentle, nourishing activities designed to help you practice letting go and welcoming in the new.
- [Affectionate Breathing: A Self-Compassion Practice for Calm and Healing](https://www.blossome.support/2025/08/24/affectionate-breathing-a-self-compassion-practice-for-calm-and-healing/): One of my favourite Self-compassion practices is Affectional Breathing. I use this one almost daily. Breath is something we carry with us everywhere. It’s a natural anchor, always available, always steady. When life feels overwhelming, anxious, or heavy, coming back to the breath can bring us a sense of calm and presence. And when we pair it with compassion, breath becomes not just grounding - but deeply nurturing, full of warmth and affection.
- [Soothing Touch for Self-Compassion](https://www.blossome.support/2025/08/17/soothing-touch-for-self-compassion/): This week, I want to share a simple but powerful self-compassion practice with you: Soothing Compassionate Touch.
- [This moment is enough](https://www.blossome.support/2025/07/20/this-moment-is-enough/): This Sunday’s message comes to you from Greece. I’m writing this surrounded by sunlight and sea breeze, with salt in my hair and my feet still sandy from the beach. For the first time in eight years, I’m on holiday with Hugh and Ella, my two kids, just us. Our first time away together since their dad died 8 years ago.  It’s joyful. It’s healing.
- [Alcohol Awareness Week: When a Loved One’s Drinking Affects You Too](https://www.blossome.support/2025/07/07/alcohol-awareness-week-when-a-loved-ones-drinking-affects-you-too/): Each year, Alcohol Awareness Week shines a light on the harmful effects of alcohol misuse. This year the theme is Alcohol and Work. But here at Blossome, we’re also asking another question:
- [One Minute at a Time](https://www.blossome.support/2025/07/06/one-minute-at-a-time/): When you’ve been affected by someone else’s substance misuse, someone you love, things don’t feel fine. And it can stay that way for a very long time.
- [Our response to Princess Kate’s Call for ongoing Support After Treatment](https://www.blossome.support/2025/07/03/our-response-to-princess-kates-call-for-ongoing-support-after-treatment/): At Blossome, we were deeply moved by the Princess of Wales’ recent visit to Colchester Hospital, in our home city, and her honest reflections on life after cancer treatment, the invisible scars, the emotional fatigue, the internal scars that no one can see, only you can feel. Her words shine a light on something rarely acknowledged, that recovery doesn't end when treatment stops. There is often a long, unseen journey that follows. There is a need for space, community, and compassion as one finds a way to return to every day life again.
- [Father’s Day and a Complicated Kind of Love](https://www.blossome.support/2025/06/13/fathers-day-and-a-complicated-kind-of-love/): Father’s Day can feel like a warm hug for some. But for many of us, it’s something altogether different, a storm of emotion, stirring up everything from sorrow to anger, guilt to yearning, love to loss.
- [6 days can change your life forever](https://www.blossome.support/2025/03/30/6-days/): Have you ever wanted your life to change? I always wanted my life to change- so I could feel happy. The truth is, I had always hoped for my husband Chris to stop drinking, to be well, then I could be happy.
- [Set an Intention Not A Resolution a gentle approach](https://www.blossome.support/2024/12/29/set-an-intention-not-a-resolution/): As we step into a new year, it’s natural to reflect on the past and consider the changes we want to make in our lives for a better new year. You might be asking yourself "Did I honour the self-care practices that I had wanted to commit to.? "Did I find more time for me? "Did I react less, and not get carried away by the chaos and emotional turmoil? We might find ourselves answering “not really” or “somewhat” to one or more of these questions. Everyday life can seem to get in the way of the most important intentions we have for ourselves. For many families affected by a loved one's addiction, this time can bring a mix of hope and anxiety. Instead of setting rigid resolutions that may feel overwhelming, we invite you to embrace a gentler approach: setting intentions.
- [You are worthy and deserving of compassion and love](https://www.blossome.support/2024/11/24/you-are-worthy-and-deserving-of-compassion-and-love/): This is the most important thing you will read today, so please, read slowly. It may even be the most important thing you read all year.
- [30 Gratitude journaling prompts for creating a daily journaling habit](https://www.blossome.support/2024/11/17/30-gratitude-journaling-prompts-for-creating-a-daily-journaling-habit/): Keeping a gratitude journal or practising gratitude regularly can help you feel the benefits of this positive emotion, improving psychological self-care.  Here are 30 gratitude journaling prompts to help you look for things to be grateful for, every day. This doesn’t need to take long. Schedule 5 minutes every day, perhaps in the evening, to review a prompt and write down what pops into your mind.
- [Nurture Yourself by Staying Hydrated When Supporting a Loved One with Addiction](https://www.blossome.support/2024/10/27/nurture-yourself-by-staying-hydrated-when-supporting-a-loved-one-with-addiction/): When you’re navigating the challenges of a loved one’s substance misuse or addiction, taking care of yourself can feel overwhelming. One simple yet powerful way to nurture yourself is by staying hydrated.  Drinking enough water can truly make a difference in how you feel both physically and emotionally.
- [How to Prioritise Sleep for your selfcare](https://www.blossome.support/2024/10/20/how-to-prioritise-sleep-for-your-selfcare/): I’ve always identified as a night owl, not an early riser, but I trained myself to get up earlier. Unfortunately, waking earlier meant I was just getting less sleep. Over the years my motivations for changing sleep patterns have changed, which has also made consistent sleep patterns a bit harder. At first I was waking earlier so I could get work done before the kids woke up. Then I started running and swimming at sunrise. Now I am balancing early morning exercise with sleeping a little longer.  I think I am getting somewhere as my sleep deficit is now OK. I’m definitely making improvements and no longer wake up feeling exhausted on a daily basis. I think I’ve learned a few things about how to prioritise sleep for my self-care. Here are my tips on how to prioritise sleep for your self-care:
- [Embracing the Stages of Change](https://www.blossome.support/2024/10/07/embracing-the-stages-of-change/): It is with self-compassion that we can embrace the stages of change. Many participants spoke of feeling they were in a different place on their healing journey. NOt everyone was in the same place, infact they were all in differnt places. I think it will be helpful to share the stages of change. Change is not a linear process; it unfolds in stages. Understanding these stages can help you recognise where you are in your journey and provide clarity on the path ahead.
- [Recording self-compassion meditations](https://www.blossome.support/2024/08/28/recording-self-compassion-meditations/): Last week I spent 3 days in the South of England in a small village near Brighton where, in the home professional sound studio of a recording artist friend, I recorded the self-compassion meditations that we are going to learn on the Cultivating Self Compassion 6-week training starting in Oct. Three days in total, we recorded 24 self-compassion meditation tracks.
- [Participating in The Summer Research Institute (SRI) Program](https://www.blossome.support/2024/07/02/summer-research-institute-program/): This year Blossome was represented at the Mind & Life Summer Research Institute which was held at the Garrison Institute in New York State, USA. The SRI is an annual gathering of researchers and contemplative practitioners where they have a dialogue about how contemplative practices such as mindfulness and compassion meditations can be used to enhance wellbeing and how these practices can be scientifically validated.
- [31 Positive Self-Talk prompts for a Blossoming July](https://www.blossome.support/2024/07/01/31-positive-self-talk-prompts-for-a-blossoming-july/): That's why the Blossome community is dedicating this month to 31 days of positive self-talk prompts, spoken from the perspective of our compassionate coach. By incorporating these daily practices, we can silence the inner critic and nurture the supportive, encouraging voice that lives within.
- [30 Ways to Joyful June](https://www.blossome.support/2024/06/01/joyful-june/): Joyful June is a month of blooming flowers, longer days and all sorts of events that can fill each day with more joy. It can be a lovely month to see others and make the most of brighter times. Joy is the emotion that people often associate with 'feeling blessed' and has been show to have health benefits, as it sets off a series of reactions in the body that boosts the immune system, helps to fight stress and pain and more.
- [31 Ways to Embrace the Present Moment with Mindfulness](https://www.blossome.support/2024/04/29/31-daily-prompts-to-embrace-the-present-moment-with-mindfulness/): With so much going on in everyday life, we can often get caught up in the demands and distractions surrounding us. Add to that living in an environment with active addiction or navigating grief, and it’s no wonder our minds can become ‘full’ with noise. A simple, yet profound, practice that can help to quiet the mental chatter and bring us back to ourselves in the here and now is mindfulness.
- [30 daily prompts to help you embark on a springtime self-care journey](https://www.blossome.support/2024/04/01/31-daily-prompts-to-help-you-embark-on-a-springtime-self-care-journey/): As the vibrant colours of spring start to show and the sun starts to warm us through, there's an undeniable sense of renewal in the air. Spring can almost make us believe in new beginnings, even if it's just for a short moment. But what if this spring really can be your new beginning?
- [Top Hurdles to Self care ](https://www.blossome.support/2024/03/18/top-hurdles-to-self-care/): Here are our list of the top hurdles to self-care, from insight gathered in the Blossome self-care Community:
- [How self-compassion makes running easier](https://www.blossome.support/2024/03/17/how-self-compassion-makes-running-easier/): If you have ever wondered how self-compassion makes running easier, here's a true story that explains how. Today I choose ease. Today I ran a half marathon with ease. That was all I wanted, to enjoy the run, to feel energised by it, and to smile all the way around.
- [Why self-care is easier for others than it is for you](https://www.blossome.support/2024/02/20/why-self-care-is-easier-for-others-than-it-is-for-you/): Self-care is many things, but there is one thing that it is not - optional. If you are not taking care of yourself, your body will eventually find a way to force you to. You won’t have a choice. When something is so important, it is important to understand why it might feel so hard for you.
- [How families are affected by alcoholism or addiction](https://www.blossome.support/2024/01/15/how-families-are-affected-by-alcoholism-or-addiction/): Experiencing a loved one's battle with alcoholism or addiction can have profound and lasting effects on family members, often resulting in a shared trauma that reverberates through the entire family system. The impact of addiction goes beyond the individual struggling with substance abuse and reaches into the emotional, psychological, and the physical well-being of those closest to them.
- [31 thoughtful prompts to help you prioritise your self-care ](https://www.blossome.support/2024/01/08/31-thoughtful-prompts-to-help-youprioritise-your-self-care/): Anyone who has endured trauma, guilt, or shame often faces significant challenges in prioritising their own self-care. Several psychological, emotional, and behavioural factors contribute to this difficulty. A nervous system that is on high alert, a diminished sense of self-worth, avoidance coping strategies, fear, lack of belief in our abilities and lack of social support all make self-care difficult for anyone who has been affected by a loved one’s battle with alcoholism or addiction.
- [31 things to let go of before the new year](https://www.blossome.support/2023/12/04/31-things-to-let-go-of-before-the-new-year/): As we head into December, this month presents us with a wonderful opportunity to explore what we might like to let go of before the new year. It’s time to leave behind the things that no longer serve us. It sounds wonderful doesn’t it? But then why is letting go so hard? 
- [How to be kind to yourself](https://www.blossome.support/2023/11/13/how-to-be-kind-to-yourself/): On World Kindness Day, when everyone is reminding you to be kind, I want to remind you to be kind to yourself. In times of grief, loss, when navigating the challenges of a loved one's battle with alcohol dependency or addiction, it becomes crucial to prioritise self-care, and being kind to you.Renowned self-care professionals like Louise Hay and Wayne Dyer offer invaluable guidance that can serve as a compass during these trying times. Let's explore ways to be kind to yourself and foster self-love through their teachings.
- [How to create self-care habits that stick](https://www.blossome.support/2023/10/23/how-to-create-self-care-habits-that-stick/): Creating self-care habits becomes easier when you do certain things together. It’s like having all of the numbers for a combination lock. Once they are all in place, it’s easy to open the lock. Here are some tips to help you get certain things in alignment, making in easier to create self-care habits that stick.
- [6 really good reasons to slow down](https://www.blossome.support/2023/10/16/6-really-good-reasons-to-slow-down/): We all have many good reasons to slow down. But in the whirlwind of life, it's all too easy to get caught up in the rush, leaving little room for reflection or self-care. Yet, for those of us living through the aftermath of loss of a loved one to alcohol dependency or addiction, the necessity of slowing down takes on a much more profound significance. I was reminded of this recently as I started a new focus on practising being present.
- [Six tips to help you establish healthy self-care habits](https://www.blossome.support/2023/10/09/six-tips-to-help-you-establish-healthy-self-care-habits/): Establishing healthy self-care habits is essential for taking care of yourself, maintaining physical, emotional, and mental well-being after losing a loved one to alcoholism or addiction, an  incredibly challenging and painful and often traumatic experience. Establishing healthy self-care routines is crucial for coping with grief, managing your emotions, and moving forward in a positive way. Here are six tips to help you establish healthy self-care habits in such difficult circumstances:
- [Finding the courage to be you](https://www.blossome.support/2023/08/08/finding-the-courage-to-be-you/): You don't have to walk this journey alone. Healing is easier together. Join others who understand the heartache and together commit to your self-care, to finding the courage to be you along a guided healing journey.  Join the Blossome Community. 
- [How to Love Yourself](https://www.blossome.support/2023/07/24/how-to-love-yourself/): I'd like to share my learning on how to love yourself, as today is International Self Care Day, a day dedicated to the importance of loving yourself and taking care of your whole mind, body and soul. To heal, to be happy, the best thing you can do to take care of yourself is to first love yourself. This I have learned through my healing journey after losing my husband Chris to alcoholism. Self love is crucial - love yourself. If you can’t smile when looking at yourself in the mirror - it’s time to put real effort into loving you. 
- [Letting Go](https://www.blossome.support/2023/07/04/letting-go/): Letting go is something we hear about often when it comes to healing. Learning how to let go is a skill that can make you feel happier, more peaceful, and even more productive. Much of what we hold onto is of no benefit and actually holds us back — yet we find it hard to let go or move on. Letting go is an act of self love. It's time to let go, for you, for your self-care.
- [How to check-in with how you are feeling and cultivate self-awareness](https://www.blossome.support/2023/06/20/how-to-check-in-with-how-you-are-feeling-and-cultivate-self-awareness/): In our fast-paced busy lives, it's easy to lose touch with our own well-being. It's even easier to lose touch with our own wellbeing when we are focussed on a loved one's battle with addiction, or when we are focussed on protecting others, especially our children. Taking a moment to check in with ourselves regularly can provide invaluable insights into our emotions, needs, and overall state of being. By consciously practicing self-check-ins, we can enhance our self-awareness and empower ourselves to take proactive steps towards self-care. In this article, we will guide you through a simple step-by-step process for how to check in with how you are feeling to help you foster self-awareness and prioritise self-care in your daily life.
- [How to set some self-care intentions](https://www.blossome.support/2023/05/30/how-to-set-some-self-care-intentions/): Self-care intentions are essential for establishing a personalised and effective self-care routine. By setting clear intentions, you can prioritise your well-being and create a framework for your regular self-care. Follow the steps below to write your self-care intentions for the Summer Self-care programme:
- [Moving forward with grief](https://www.blossome.support/2023/05/15/moving-forward-with-grief/): I am being extra kind to myself today because today is the anniversary of my husband's death. The grief is still there. It will always be there but this year it is different, just like every year on this anniversary.  Today marks six years since we lost Chris, my husband, to alcoholism. When my phone buzzed early in the morning and I saw it was from Andy, Chris' best mate, the tears came. Today was the day and somehow it snuck up on me. I knew it was coming, but I lost track of the days. There was no escaping that today was the 15th May. 
- [Emotional healing explained](https://www.blossome.support/2023/04/16/emotional-healing-explained/): We hear a lot of talk about emotional healing, but what exactly does that mean? It refers to becoming aware of our emotional wounds and emotional distress, which has been caused by past experiences, and choosing to take steps towards resolving it. It involves acknowledging and processing emotions in a healthy way. Loving an alcoholic, you will know the emotional roller coaster - the sadness, disappointment, anger, fear, and the grief.  Emotional healing means we find ways to cope with and use those emotions in our lives in a positive way.
- [Call for Advisors](https://www.blossome.support/2023/03/30/call-for-advisors/): Blossome is steered by a volunteer Advisory Board. Are you interested in making a positive impact on the lives of people who have been affected by someone else's alcohol dependency or addiction? Would you like to help break the generational cycle of addiction and alcoholism in families?  Become an Advisor!
- [Do this when you are feeling the chaos](https://www.blossome.support/2023/03/27/do-this-when-you-are-feeling-the-chaos/): Take a moment to just breathe. We can get so caught up in whatever is unfolding around us. We tend to dive into action mode, convinced that doing something is the way out of the chaos that is happening around us. Often, what we need to do is to stop, and just breathe.
- [Managing waves of grief](https://www.blossome.support/2023/03/13/managing-waves-of-grief/): You can’t predict when grief is going to sweep over. Managing waves of grief is challenging, as often, they strike at the most inconvenient times. Grief struck me on Friday night while I was with a group of friends on a hen night in London, all dressed up in 1950’s outfits.

Life happens. We may even wish for things to standstill, so we can catch up, overwhelmed by the feeling of things unravelling around us - things that we cannot control. The thing is, you can get stuck in what you can’t control - or you can shift your focus to what you can control. 
- [Feel it all](https://www.blossome.support/2023/01/16/feel-it-all/): When you experience difficult emotions, there can be a tendency to distract yourself from them, shove them to one side, or simply brush them under the carpet. Wherever you put those feelings, they will continue to bubble away, until you acknowledge them - and feel them.

I was always being overly careful around my husband, not wanting to upset him and cause him to start drinking.  I did not want to say anything that would cause a blow up. I didn’t want my kids to see the blowup and emotionally I was worried I'd break if I had to deal with another one. I thought those days were long gone. I thought that they had stopped when my husband passed away five and a half years ago.  But the honest truth is that I am still walking on eggshells, and I have only just realised it.

- [6 ways your identity determines your life](https://www.blossome.support/2022/08/22/6-ways-your-identity-determines-your-life/): I took me a while to figure out that your identity determines your life. When my son was 5 years old, he went to karate classes. I’d be there watching, with my infant daughter who was usually asleep in the car seat. My husband was at home, as it was a Saturday, but he wasn’t in a place where he could take care of our baby daughter. So she always tagged along. I was always juggling. Much of those days were a blur, as my husband’s drinking was escalating, along with the chaos in my head.

- [Happiness is in the moment](https://www.blossome.support/2022/07/25/happiness-is-in-the-moment/): When we practice mindfulness, we are able to be in the moment, giving ourselves and our mind, space to discover itself .We become more self-aware.
