Most people have experienced the 5 stages of grief at some stage in their lives. Even if it wasn't over the loss of someone meaningful, other major life events, such as a relationship break-up or being made redundant, can trigger the same grieving process. 

Each person experiences grief and loss differently. However, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross discovered that most people go through a 5 stage grieving process.

This podcast episode will help you understand each of the 5 stages of grief.  This will help you deal better with loss and adapt to significant life changes. It will also help you support others that are going through the grieving process.

I'll explain each of the 5 stages of grief in detail so you can identify the one you may be going through right now.  I'll also reveal the stage that some people get stuck in (sometimes for years!) and provide some ways to help you move on with your life.

In this podcast episode, you'll learn 7 highly effective ways to increase your self-worth.  Having high self-worth is crucial to success in all areas of life and it feels so much better inside too.

I'll start by defining what self-worth is.  I'll then cover how self-worth is different to self-esteem and self-confidence. I'll cover how most people measure self-worth and I'll let you in on a secret, most people do this wrong!

I'll reveal the typical signs of low self-worth. It's good to know these before you put in the effort to increase your self-worth. Some of the signs are very obvious and others are more subtle.  This will also give you a starting point and help you measure how your self-worth improves over time.

I'll then cover my 7 ways to help you increase your self-worth in all areas of life.  These methods are quite varied and you don't need to do them all at once! Pick one or two that appeal to you and notice your sense of self-worth increasing as you put these into action.

The questions that I mentioned to help you focus on your strengths and positive qualities are:
• What are you good at?
• What do you enjoy doing?
• What makes you happy?
• What are your strengths and talents
• What have you achieved or accomplished so far?
• What challenges have you overcome?

I'll kick-up by briefly explaining what your subconscious mind is.Then it's straight into the 10 most fundamental characteristics of your subconscious mind. 

I'm explain how the subconscious mind uses past memories to deal with situations in the present and why beliefs have such as important role to play.
