Boost of the Day #52: Cheer yourself up the good way
A great way to boost your self esteem when you're feeling low is to focus your energy on cheering someone else up.

Boost of the Day #51: Your presence is enough
I was lucky enough to stumble across a great quote today on this fab blog from Sarah. Why do some of us never believe that we are enough just as we are?

No more belittling myself when I make a mistake, no more slagging off my … Continue reading Boost of the day #41: Approval over criticism
Boost of the day #27: Make others happy
One tip I've frequently read on boosting self-esteem is to do something charitable, particularly volunteering. This makes a lot of sense as bringing happiness to others will inevitably make you feel like you've given something good to the world and that you have something to offer people. If you don't have time to volunteer, you … Continue reading Boost of the day #27: Make others happy
Boost of the day #25: Ban the negative self-talk
I remember being particular negative about myself one counselling session, and she said to me, 'would you say that to a friend or your mum?'. It was a real kick up the bum to make me realise how harsh I was being towards myself.
