Are you proud to be you?

How often do you compare yourself to someone else, only to find yourself lacking?

Maybe someone, or everyone, seems to be more clever or successful than you, to be clearer on what they want out of life and better at working towards it, to have the personality or style you’d like to have?

How can you turn those comparisons around so that you can be more proud to be you?

Of course, we all have our down-days when we slip into ‘it’s alright for them’ thoughts, but how can you raise your self-esteem and to remind yourself of how capable and competent you are?

These things can help:

• List all your skills and strengths. Read it aloud. Add to it.
• Re-read testimonials; recall positive comments made about you.
• Remember what friends and family value about you.

What would you say to a friend who was self-critical? Say that to yourself.

If one of the things you’d like to be proud of is your story, I can help you. To explore how, just book a complimentary call here.
