Who would make more of an impact - would you prefer someone to call you pretty or witty? Slim or passionate? It's easy to get caught up in thinking that being pretty and slim is going to change your life, but what is really important is how you show your inner self. By all means, work on … Continue reading Boost of the Day #45: Don’t be defined by your shell

30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Eight
Day Eight: The last time you smiled when someone complimented you. What was the compliment and why did you smile? I recently shared my blog on Facebook for the first time, and a close friend messaged me saying how much she loved it. That definitely made me smile - I am a lucky lady to … Continue reading 30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Eight
30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Seven
Day Seven: When do you feel best about yourself? Why? I feel best about myself after exercising - whether it's yoga, a boot camp or a half marathon. On top of all the endorphins, I feel like I have achieved something and that I am strong. When I had time off work, this was a … Continue reading 30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Seven
30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Six
Day Six: Something about the way I just am that I like I like how friendly I am towards new people. I like to make people feel comfortable and I genuinely enjoy getting to know others.

Boost of the Day #44: Tiger vs Sheep
Why do we worry so much about what others' think? It's incredibly easy to mould into someone who you barely recognise, just to fit in or please others. Doing this makes you lose your sense of self, and your self is worth too much to lose. Show your true self to the world and even … Continue reading Boost of the Day #44: Tiger vs Sheep
30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Five
Day Five: Something about the way I think that I like. This is a good one because I think a lot! I like that I think very imaginatively at times. I've always had an active imagination - when I was a child I used to dream up all kinda of weird and wonderful scenarios for my Sylvanian … Continue reading 30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Five
Boost of the Day #44: Choose carefully…
I definitely pick up little phrases and actions from the people I spend the most time with. The more time we spend with positive, kind and strong people, the better we become. Others' positive behaviour can encourage us to improve ourselves and be the best version of ourselves. On the other hand, toxic behaviour from … Continue reading Boost of the Day #44: Choose carefully…
30 Day Self-Esteem Challenge: Day Four
Day four: A habit you have that you like I'm unnaturally early to everything. I sat outside the shops this morning on a park bench for 15 minutes because I arrived before opening time (luckily it was sunny). For my last interview, I sat in a dodgy park on the phone to my mum for … Continue reading 30 Day Self-Esteem Challenge: Day Four
30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Three
Day Three: A part of your personality that you like I like my determination. Whenever there is a job I really want, a run I want to finish or a challenge I need to overcome, I become very focused on getting it done. I don't give up easily and I keep trying until I eventually … Continue reading 30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Three
Boost of the day #43: Good, not perfect
I like it when I find a quote related to self esteem from a famous author whose work I have read. I imagine writers can be extremely self-critical and they have to go through so many rejections of their writing before finally getting published. Steinbeck has the right idea here - as soon as you liberate … Continue reading Boost of the day #43: Good, not perfect
