Tips for healthier mental and physical wellbeing

SELF ESTEEM

Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves. That judgment impacts every moment and every aspect of our existence. Our self-evaluation is the basic context in which we act and react, choose our values, set our goals, meet the challenges that confront us. Our responses to events are shaped in part by whom and what we think we are — our self-esteem

Develop your Self Esteem.

Learn how to assert yourself in order to avoid people taking advantage of you and draining you of your personal energy. Learn how to say 'no' politely and firmly and you will find that you will be able to manage your stress much more efficiently.

Accept feedback and remember that there is no such thing as failure. Each time you fail at something remind yourself that that at least you have learnt how not to do it next time.

Think more positively by turning every challenge and negative experience into a positive outcome.

Manage your time by making 'to do lists', delegating where possible and prioritising the most important jobs you have to do.

Start to give yourself some space, relaxation and quality recovery time and remember no one is perfect and you cannot please all of the people all of the time, only some of the people some of the time.

Stay away from stressed people as they will drain your positive energy and you will absorb their negative energy.

Change your attitude and the way you speak to yourself by thinking more positively, turn every event into a learning experience and remember that 95% of what we worry about never happens.
