How many times a day do you tell yourself “I can’t do it. I’m not good enough anyway. I’m not worth it. I’ll just end up stuffing up again. No one cares anyway. I know I should act different. I have to be…something else. Someone else. Me as I am, is certainly not enough. I’m not good enough. I know I need to be a better person. I can’t forgive myself.

Mornings for me used to be hitting the snooze button and trying to stay in bed as long as possible, fantasising about how life could’ve been. That was way easier than facing the day. I just wanted to escape the monotony of getting up, going to work, going home, watching TV and going to bed. I remember there being certain moments in my … Read More
I used to doubt myself all the time. I had a running commentary in my head telling me all the things that I couldn’t do, that I wasn’t good at or that I’d never be good at.

It wasn’t something I noticed immediately, it was a feeling that grew over time. I thought that … Read More
I used to hate being alone. It was when I was alone that I would find myself thinking of the things that were not working in my life. I’d feel scared that no-one loved me, that no-one would EVER love me and that no-one cared. I used to do anything not to be alone. Anything to distract myself from less than great thoughts … Read More
I was lucky I guess. I had an amazing family growing up. I had everything. Well, not everything I ever wanted, we weren’t super rich, but we weren’t poor either. I grew up in the country.

Do you find that you … Read More
Self doubt holds us back, keeps us safe, keeps us where we are. It gives us a reason to turn down the invitation for a date, a reason not to go to the gym, keeps us in the same job we do easily for years and years, not reaching for the promotion or change to something more fulfilling Many of us doubt ourselves… … Read More
Have you ever felt like you’re not good enough, not good looking enough, not smart enough? Maybe you have not been satisfied in relationships, or not good enough to get that raise at work…and sometimes it can really get you down. The effects can last a long time and be quite devastating and depressing. The fact that you have to ‘pretend’ to be … Read More
