Boost of the day #30: Air of mystery
I've mentioned before that attention seeking is often a big sign of low self-esteem. Emma Watson is such a wonderful role model for young women - she is successful, classy and intelligent. Her success comes from her ability to act, now through attention seeking 'Miley Cyrus/Kim Kardashian' methods. An air of mystery is a great … Continue reading Boost of the day #30: Air of mystery
Boost of the day #29: Be your own hero

Boost of the day #28: Nolite te bastardes carborundorum
"Nolite te bastardes carborundorum" "Don't let the bastards grind you down" This is my favourite quote from The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood and it seems particularly fitting to use it now.

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 #26: Determination
I think this quote is not only motivational, but it also shows the importance of building self-esteem and believing in yourself.

Our minds are incredibly powerful and how you use … Continue reading Boost of the day #26: Determination

On the other hand, if you can fill yourself with self-love and respect yourself, you will attract people who will respect you … Continue reading SELF-love conquers all…
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. It has always worked for me since this moment to think, … Continue reading Boost of the day #25: Ban the negative self-talk
Booster tip #2: Start a new hobby
It's time to take control of your happiness and self-esteem. A great way to boost your self-esteem is to pick up a new hobby and learn something. This could be a physical or mental activity, or both!

Boost of the day #24: Yes man
Let's be honest, how many times have we agreed to something when we'd rather have politely declined? Can you pop to the post office for me? Yes Can you wash up the dishes tonight? Yes Will you come to the park with me? Yes Will you pick me up after work? Yes And so it … Continue reading Boost of the day #24: Yes man
