I love Gemma Correll's work, which actually makes you smile at the darker issues some of us go through. I know the last thing we feel like doing is laughing when feeling low, but if you can find a little humour from time to time, it really helps. I'd say my 'funniest' moment when I … Continue reading Seeing humour
It's so easy to get annoyed by trivial things, for example, I recently got annoyed by such things as changes in flight times, picking out a (slightly) bad tasting bottle of wine, forgetting my lunch...! I could go on but it gets quite embarrassing to list these trivialities because I should consider myself so so … Continue reading Boost of the Day
Comparison is truly the bloody thief of joy! I, amongst many others, am terrible for this. Only yesterday, I was running further than I have gone in months (rather slowly mind!), and I was beating myself up because other people were overtaking me. Why wasn't I praising myself for running further than usual instead? It got me … Continue reading Boost of the Day
I saw these two gorgeous ones yesterday and they always will put a big smile on my face and boost my mood. If you cannot have one yourself (like me in my small flat, boohoo!), do know any friends or family with pets?

I went for a run tonight as I am training for a 10k race in a couple of weeks, and I beat my personal 5k record. What a great feeling when you beat yourself! If you struggle with self-esteem, I would highly recommend that you set yourself a fitness goal, one that is a challenge … Continue reading Self-Esteem Boost: Goals

Don't define yourself by the past. Today defines you - so take this opportunity to start again.
Love yourself and you will teach others to do exactly the same. Teach others to treat you with respect and love by showering yourself with care and affection. If you do not learn to love yourself, how can you expect others to? I created this website because I understand how important self love is to happiness! … Continue reading Boost of the Day #173: Show them how to love you
I have spent many years of dating (mostly) men who made me anxious and miserable, and now I am in a happy relationship I can see what my issue was. I chose partners who were not ready for commitment. The ones who would be charming when we spent time together, but who were not that interested … Continue reading Boost of the Day #172: Be someone’s priority
I woke up this morning and felt in a pretty low mood. No big, obvious reason - just being on my 'time of the month', my lower back ached, the weather was miserable and I had eaten far too many calories on Easter Sunday! I generally felt 'meh'. A couple of hours on, I feel … Continue reading Booster Tip #16: Run
