People with lower self-esteem can often crave the attention of others, and on the path to obtaining it, unfortunately it can result in loss of self-respect, and often lower self-esteem. A woman who flaunts herself provocatively and wears little clothing just to attract a man, for example. We all know that girl will certainly get attention, but … Continue reading R.E.S.P.E.C.T

This quote seems particularly relevant today. Last night I was due to meet a guy I've been hankering after for the past month and who has already messed me around a fair bit...he ended up cancelling on me - 30 minutes after we were due to meet!! If we go back to the 'me' a … Continue reading Boost of the day #16
Scarred for life?
One thing that has always had an impact on my self esteem is my skin. I have plenty of freckles, moles and birthmarks. I also have several scars across my torso which I have spent the past few years feeling extremely self-conscious about, to the point that I use make-up to cover them. I always … Continue reading Scarred for life?

Today I am urging you to get a boost from the good friendships in your life. I say 'good' because you can have destructive friendships. Those are the ones where the 'friend' in question does not add value to your life. Focus on the ones who make you smile, laugh. The ones who are loyal, … Continue reading Boost of the day #14
Boost of the day #13
This phrase has now become a daily mantra for me as it is something I have been guilty of in the past. It's easy to begin to rely on a relationship, a 'perfect' job or the good opinion of others in order to feel happiness. However, this is a very unhealthy way to live your … Continue reading Boost of the day #13

Perfect hair, perfect skin, perfect body, perfect performance at work...I'm sure we can all relate to one of these, sometimes all of them! Imagine if you actually met someone who had the … Continue reading Boost of the day #12

Oh how I have fallen victim to this one! Thanks to the ever-growing ease of seeing how 'amazing' someone else's life is via Facebook, Instagram etc, it is only natural that people begin to compare their life to others. Many of my friends are getting married, engaged, buying houses and progressing fast in their career. … Continue reading Boost of the Day #11

Boosting self-esteem is all about accepting that who you are is good enough for the world and what you have to say is valuable and worthwhile. If anybody is making you feel otherwise, speak up and get them to change. If they won't, it's time to walk away...
What if I don’t achieve my goal?
So I talked about setting a physical goal yesterday, and how it might help to boost self-esteem. After I posted this, I read an article which discussed the problems with goal-setting, and the dangers of feeling worse if you don't achieve your end goal. I wanted really to stress today that in my opinion, it … Continue reading What if I don’t achieve my goal?

I found this excellent quote on jaylendunoe's blog! A bonus that it is Will Smith, looking at his arms gave me a boost anyway!! Aside from the picture, I think this is true wisdom from Mr Smith. Particularly when it comes to dating, chasing someone will make you feel more insecure and less valuable. This is … Continue reading Boost of the day #9
