A year ago today, I was struggling. I woke up one morning, dressed for work as usual, and boiled the kettle. I remember vividly turning to my flatmate and saying 'I can't make it into work today'. Having forced myself to struggle on for a few months, I was broken for the first time in my life. I … Continue reading Boost of the Day #100: One year of recovery on…

Men and body image
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.

There are several very sad examples, such as Robin Williams and Heath Ledger, which prove … Continue reading Boost of the Day #88: Inner happiness

I already talked about redefining the word failure in an article about how to overcome failure. Now let's redefine confidence with this quote.

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. If you're always the one doing the … Continue reading Boost of the Day #84: Don’t chase, but attract.
