10 Steps to Happiness

10 Steps to Happiness takes you through a clear, quick and easy process to reduce stress and overwhelm, begin to accept yourself as you are and give yourself the love you seek, and to create more fulfilling connections with others.

Although I had been passionate about holistic health and personal growth since I was a teenager, when I sunk into depression again and my second husband left me just before my 44th birthday, I knew I was missing something. I realised that if I wanted to stop repeating the same hurtful patterns in my life then I had to start deeply loving myself. I learned that I wasn't getting the love, respect and care that I craved, because I didn't think I was lovable, attractive or worthy. This book is essentially a summary of the processes I used and refined as I embarked on my journey out of depression, illness, marital separation and fear, and began to create true happiness and fulfilment in my life. My aim for this book is to give you effective tools that are easy to implement to make your journey to self-love and fulfilment simpler and faster than mine. The processes in this book are the foundational ones that I practice daily, or return to frequently. Some may seem simple, but they work. Test them and see for yourself. I offer you this roadmap with love, and invite you to join me in taking these ten steps to happiness.

Author's Note: About five years after I originally wrote this book, I have returned to it in 2024 and completed a full revision. The revision process bought me back to an appreciation for the original text, and I have updated details and added significantly more information in some areas, based on my learning and development over that time.
