One tip I've frequently read on boosting self-esteem is to do something charitable, particularly volunteering. This makes a lot of sense as bringing happiness to others will inevitably make you feel like you've given something good to the world and that you have something to offer people.

Boost of the day #26: Determination
I think this quote is not only motivational, but it also shows the importance of building self-esteem and believing in yourself.

Our minds are incredibly powerful and how you use … Continue reading Boost of the day #26: Determination
SELF-love conquers all…
It is inevitable that if you have low self-esteem and self-worth, you will end up attracting people who will treat you in this way, and reinforce the negative messages you believe about yourself. On the other hand, if you can fill yourself with self-love and respect yourself, you will attract people who will respect you … Continue reading SELF-love conquers all…
Boost of the day #25: Ban the negative self-talk
I remember being particular negative about myself one counselling session, and she said to me, 'would you say that to a friend or your mum?'.

Boost of the day #23: feeling sheepish?
One way to corrode your self-esteem is to believe that you should be like everyone else. On some level, you are probably thinking that what you really are is not good enough. So you become a sheep. You pretend to like the same music as your friends, to enjoy the same movies, to share the same … Continue reading Boost of the day #23: feeling sheepish?
Boost of the day #22: Each Body’s Ready
I have loved reading the reaction to Protein World's advert: Are you beach body ready? The original ad is below: So the message is that to be ready for the beach, you have to have the perfect body. Nice. As if our self-esteem isn't reliant enough on looking skinny and having perfect skin, hair etc. … Continue reading Boost of the day #22: Each Body’s Ready
