Make time to chill out and relax. Prioritise and leave the rest until tomorrow! Take care of yourself - it's far more important 🙂

Boost of the Day #101: Don’t be second-rate
If you go through life hoping to be like somebody else, you are never going to be the best you could be. Much better to focus on improving yourself so you can be the best version of you possible. Your self-esteem will never be high unless you embrace who you are and what you are capable … Continue reading Boost of the Day #101: Don’t be second-rate
Boost of the Day #100: One year of recovery on…
A year ago today, I was struggling. I woke up one morning, dressed for work as usual, and boiled the kettle. I remember vividly turning to my flatmate and saying 'I can't make it into work today'. Having forced myself to struggle on for a few months, I was broken for the first time in my life. I … Continue reading Boost of the Day #100: One year of recovery on…
Boost of the Day #95: Listen
To keep your mental health strong, one useful tip is to write down what you are grateful for in life. Try to either write down or think aloud three things per day. No matter how small a thing this may be, it might just help you to see the light instead of the darkness at … Continue reading Boost of the Day #95: Listen
Boost of the Day #94: Worth the effort
Never underestimate the importance of putting in effort. Let's take the example of someone who runs a marathon in a fast time or a weightlifter. These people didn't start off running at an epic speed or lifting 50 kilos. They chose to put in time and effort to become good at something. It's the effort … Continue reading Boost of the Day #94: Worth the effort
Boost of the Day #82: Be nice to yourself
Self-criticism...one of my worst enemies. An enemy which can bring frustration, anger, isolation and eventually depression if it really persists. So let's stop it with a two step process! First step is recognition. As soon as you hear yourself becoming self critical and putting yourself down, recognise it and say 'stop' inside your head. Second step is … Continue reading Boost of the Day #82: Be nice to yourself
Boost of the Day #78: Shut up negativity!
Controlling negative thoughts takes a lot of practice, but like anything, you can get better at it. One way can be to tell them to shut up and take a hike - just recognising that you want to stop those thoughts can be an effective short-term solution. Another (more practical and long-term) way can be to … Continue reading Boost of the Day #78: Shut up negativity!
Goooooooooals!
I've talked about the importance of setting goals when I first started writing this blog and discussed what happens if you don't achieve a goal. Now it's time to take this to a practical level. I want you to write down three goals to work towards until the end of October. Actually write them down, as this makes … Continue reading Goooooooooals!
Boost of the Day #76: Take the time to go outside
If it's a beautiful day like it is today in many parts of England, there could be nothing worse than not going outside. Even if it's a quick five minute walk round the block, take the time today to breathe in some fresh air and if possible, make the most of the weather and get … Continue reading Boost of the Day #76: Take the time to go outside
Boost of the Day #74: Progress
Never aim for perfection, no matter what the task in hand is. You're just setting yourself up for anxiety, stress and a sense of failure. It's really easy to say this - much harder to execute in reality if you have perfectionist tendencies! Try looking at your situation as if you were looking at your … Continue reading Boost of the Day #74: Progress
