Another great article from Buzzfeed here: Click here for the article. Main points I took from this: Worrying about weight, body tone, skin problems, baldness and so on is not just an issue for women.

Booster Tip #11: Don’t use the force
With certain things in life, you shouldn't have to force it. With a relationship or friendship, you shouldn't have to chase relentlessly, with a yoga pose you shouldn't let your ego take over your practice, and as for perfect ponytails.....it's time to let it go!

Boost of the Day #84: Don’t chase, but attract.
For the sake of your own self-esteem, do not chase others. I don't mean to just wait around and never take the initiative to get in touch with people and organise outings, but you should not have to persistently chase someone to get them to stay in your life.

Boost of the Day #83: What should you do today?
When you have low self esteem, it is easy to feel guilty for taking care of yourself. You think you don't deserve such treatment, especially from your worst enemy, yourself!
