Day Ten: Believe

When you have low self-esteem, it’s hard to believe anything positive about yourself. Your mind is constantly telling you ‘you’re useless’, ‘you’re not pretty enough’, ‘you’re not funny enough’ etc. etc.

We start to believe all the negative criticism in our minds, which is all very untrue. If your family and friends could hear what you were saying to yourself in these moments, would they be horrified? I know mine would.

If you can’t look to yourself for positivity and kindness, start with your people. Friends, family, anyone who looks out for you. What would they say are your best qualities?
