In January, I moved house. it was a full on experience of packing, unpacking, cleaning, sorting and organising across two places over several weeks. I do not like moving, but there’s a few things that I’ve learnt about life from my recent move that I wish to share with you.
Read MoreSelf worth, self esteem, and self confidence are three concepts that are often used interchangeably, but they are actually distinct and important aspects of our mental and emotional health. Understanding the difference between these three concepts can help you build a healthier, more fulfilling life and confident life.
When an individual exudes self-confidence it is clear that they know their worth. In action, they do what matters to them most and they leave those things that aren’t behind; they have time because they know where their effort is best spent and they no longer people please or entertain other’s vision for their life before their own. Self-worth is the foundation of confidence.
Read More‘I need a confidence coach!’ This is the most common comment I received from others when they learn that I am a confidence coach. But happens if you aren’t aware of what a confidence coach does and how they can help you? Chances are you won’t reach out for help if you don’t feel that you need assistance. Some people think that a confidence coach simply helps you to become a great public speaker few understand that a confidence coach dives far deeper than that because confidence coaching isn’t about the mechanics of how to move (or do certain things) but rather why you make the moves you do.

From here it leads to the frustration that others are increasingly rejecting you but the problem didn’t start with anyone but yourself.
Read More‘Can I really do that though? I mean who wants to hear from me?’
When you examine social interactions between people it is really easy to pick up who is communicating what people want to hear as opposed to who they are.
‘What would you like to know?’ you ask, when really it has nothing to do about what the other person wants to know but what you feel is important to convey to them at that time.
‘I’d love to run a business, but don’t I need to have everything sorted, have a big bank account and a lot of confidence before someone will buy? Won’t they just look at me and go nope?’
Read MoreGoal setting is a great tool to help us achieve what we want but it is null and void without accountability. So how do we ensure that we are accountable to achieve the goals we set for ourselves? There are many ways you can do it but in this modern era I believe the best ways are harnessing the use of technology so that we maximise what is already in our hands whilst rewiring the reasons why we engage with tech. This way we don’t perceive ourselves as doing something extra and we can harness the power of positive peer pressure. This is why I created the Daily Journal.
