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

Self-Esteem Boost: Pets!
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? If so, ask to spend some time walking, stroking, playing (or better, … Continue reading Self-Esteem Boost: Pets!
Self-Esteem Boost: Goals
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
Boost of the Day
Well, after a 4 month break here I am writing again. Partly because I have missed having a hobby like this - blogging is a fantastic way to be creative and get writing. However it is also partly because I miss having an outlet where I can (hopefully) help raise others' and my own self-esteem. Writing this blog … Continue reading Boost of the Day

Boost of the Day #173: Show them how to love you
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
Boost of the Day #172: Be someone’s priority
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
Boost of the Day #171: Brave
I love it when a Pixar or Disney film has strong, uplifting messages behind it. Brave is one of those films and this quote is a brilliant reminder that we are the managers of our own life. No, you cannot control everything that will happen to you, but you can choose how you react and deal with … Continue reading Boost of the Day #171: Brave
Boost of the Day #170: THIS is what is important.
We worry too much about things that will have little importance in one year from now, one week, one day, even one hour. Consider what is important to you. If anything else is making you feel stressed, it's time to take back control mentally and let go of the little problems in life. Save your … Continue reading Boost of the Day #170: THIS is what is important.
