Janey in her TEDx Doncaster Talk adds to the conversation around addiction.

In this Talk, Janey highlights that quitting an addiction is just the first step, but most of us reach a point where we want to dive a bit deeper into self-acceptance.

It’s not possible to simply declare, 'I love myself' - most of us don't! Years of limiting beliefs and blocks hold us back, but we can become curious, and start to wonder about future possibilities.

Self-care is not selfish, but being kind to yourself starts with becoming curious as to how we can overcome our own blocks.

Curiosity works. We have the rise of the ‘Sober Curious’, wondering how life will be without the booze, and focusing on what you are gaining, not giving up, has helped so many people – and then there is more work to be done.

Janey believes we can have real breakthroughs if we become curious about empowerment, how we can live harmoniously, the impact of kindness et al.

Janey stares that we can become ‘selflove’ Curious, ‘finding our purpose’ Curious, 'Confident' Curious, it allows our unconscious mind to be open to possibilities.

Janey presents the science behind this topic and of course its proven that our RAS (our reticular activating system) kicks in, once we become aware of something, we will see more of it, our unconscious mind will find ways to us to experience more of what we are curious about, which is why it’s so important to focus on the positive.
