5 Small Ways To Give Yourself A Boost

1. Picture yourself doing something you have always wanted to do. Close your eyes and see every detail of how you would behave, how you feel about achieving it and how others respond to it. Now put it into action and when you achieve it you will feel elated.

2. Keep a diary: Write down your feelings and thoughts about situations and determine how you could make them better by looking at them in a different way. You will learn more about yourself and how you react to certain situations so you can stop and turn them around.

3. Rely on your opinions of yourself and not what others think. Base your life goals on your values and not those of others. You are the only person who can say what is right for you!

4. Lighten up, don’t take things so seriously or personally. Try to see the humour in everything. Your perspective will completely change if you look at things from a humorous point of view.

5. Kick out your inner critic. When you notice you are having doubts or judging yourself, STOP! Tell yourself, “I can do it! I am a good person and I can do anything I put my mind to’. You have the power to control your inner critic, don’t allow it to control you.
