“The Voice There is a voice inside of you That whispers all day long, "I feel this is right for me, I know that this is wrong." No teacher, preacher, parent, friend Or wise man can decide What's right for you--just listen to The voice that speaks inside.” ― Shel Silverstein Day One: Listen The best … Continue reading 30 Day Self-Esteem Challenge: Day One
It's been a while (years!) since I completed a 30 Day Self-Esteem Challenge, which was an idea I found on another blog. I had very low self-esteem at this point, and didn't know where to start to build it back up. The challenge really helped, so now I'm years down the line and have built up … Continue reading 30 Day Self-Esteem Challenge 2019
Day Thirty: Are you happy with yourself? It's the final day of the challenge, so I guess ideally I would say yes to this and all my problems would be cured! I can say, with honesty, that I am happier with myself today than I have ever been in the past. My mind still is … Continue reading 30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Thirty
Day Twenty-nine: Another thing you like about yourself. I don't tend to give up. For example, when I want to work for a particular company, I will keep trying even if I am rejected a few times. When I encounter physical problems when training for a half marathon, I adjust my schedule and keep trying. … Continue reading 30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Twenty-nine
Day Twenty-eight: When you don’t feel good about yourself, what do you do to change that, if anything? I was talking about this in a recent Boost of the Day, all about looking for the positives. In that post, I talked about how you must always look for the positives in yourself and focus on … Continue reading 30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Twenty-eight
Day Twenty-seven: Do you feel good about yourself today? Why or why not? It's funny because if you'd had asked me this a couple of days ago, I would have struggled to make a positive response. Today, I'm having one of those days when everything is good. My job is busy enough to keep me … Continue reading 30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Twenty-seven
Day Twenty-six: Do you often accept compliments? If not, why? I used to find it very difficult to accept them, to the point when I got annoyed with people for paying me compliments, as I was so sure in my mind that they were lying to me!! Now, when someone pays me a compliment, I … Continue reading 30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Twenty-six
Day Twenty-five: Do you often compliment other people? Definitely not as often as I should. It takes a couple of seconds to give a compliment and it could really lift someone's day. Everyone reading this - pay a compliment to someone today! For bonus points, try and avoid it relating to physical appearance...like the below … Continue reading 30 Day Self-Esteem Challenge: Day Twenty-five
Day Twenty-four: What is your favourite compliment to give & receive, and why? I enjoy receiving any compliments - anytime! I didn't used to like it. I remember when people complimented me I just wouldn't believe them and I'd feel uncomfortable, like they had an ulterior motive or something. I like complimenting people on their appearance … Continue reading 30 Day Self Esteem Challenge: Day Twenty-four
Day Twenty-three: What is your definition of ‘beautiful’? This is hard! Someone who is beautiful is to me a person who gives off positive, happy vibes and gives off energy that makes others want to be around them. A kind of aura surrounds them in a way that attracts others. When I was looking for an … Continue reading 30 Day Self-Esteem Challenge: Day Twenty-three
