Journal Entry:

Working out last night allowed me to sleep, only awakened once, dog needed to go potty. After that slept 'til 7:30. Still tired, slept until later. I usually don't do that, but my body is trying to tell me something.

Read some more of Angela's thread , got some more insight and am going to try and use the wise knowledge. I believe I should share it for others may benefit from what I gained.


"I saw you asked about become more secure. That comes with feeling good about yourself and feeling worthy. I am going to list some things you can do that may help you with that.

1.Write down 7 (or however many you think you can) minor goals for the week and tick one off each day as you achieve it.
2.At the end of each day before falling asleep write down something you feel proud about, either on the day or in the past.
3.Tell someone else how much you appreciate them, being able to be open and honest is great for self worth.
4.Say no! Learn the skill of saying no without offending the person asking.
5.Everything you do, do to the best of your ability even if it cleaning the toilets or something equally as mundane, develop a reputation as someone who takes pride in their work.
6.Walk tall and proud. walk as if you’ve got somewhere to go and you need to be there now, never run just walk tall and quickly.
9.Dress as smart as you can for each occasion, whether it be work, meeting a friend, or going for an interview. Take pride in your appearance.
10.Do something for yourself every day.
11.Learn a new skill or take up something you’ve always wanted to and stick with it.
12.Speak up for yourself in every area of your life, this might be hard to do at first but the first time you do it will be immense and if you carry on your self esteem and feelings of self worth will soar.
13.Sing at the top of your voice.
14.Forgive yourself! (You know what I mean)
15.Get rid of the people who are dragging you down.
16.Work on your strengths. A lot of people focus on building up their weaknesses, instead get better at what you are good at.
17.Take a walk in the rain………..Why?………..because you have the power to decide!

18.Reward your successes. As soon as you achieve something reward yourself.
19.Never let anyone force you to break your core values.
20.Help other people who need it.
21.Always, Always, Always be honest with yourself and others. There is no need for lies and the energy it takes to continue a lie is unbelievable.
22.Take a chance and take a risk or two. Just get up and do it.
23.Listen to your self talk and slap the little person criticising you, I mean it, imagine there are two people one on each shoulder, the one who criticises you give them a slap or a punch in the mouth and start to pay attention to the one who is praising you.
24.Don’t be afraid to accept help from other people, it means they respect you enough to help you with something.
25.Start changing your thinking to be more optimistic about yourself, instead of "I can’t do that…."say "I’ve never tried it, but I’ll give it a try"
