If you believe in something, don't just let this go because nobody else agrees. People will respect you far more if you stand up for yourself and what you believe to be true. There's no need to argue or try to change others' opinions, just stand firm. If you constantly deny your inner values, you … Continue reading Boost of the Day #93: Stand up

Boost of the Day #84: Don’t chase, but attract.
For the sake of your own self-esteem, do not chase others.

Boost of the Day #82: Be nice to yourself
Self-criticism...one of my worst enemies. An enemy which can bring frustration, anger, isolation and eventually depression if it really persists. So let's stop it with a two step process!

Do you believe you need a relationship to make you a complete person? Believing this will inevitably lead to you being reliant (and often, needy) on another person to feel good about yourself.

Try looking at your situation as if you were looking at your … Continue reading Boost of the Day #74: Progress
