Words That Make A Difference #4



For this weeks quote I want to focus on self-love & self-worth.

I think it is so easy to get weighed down by what other people think, so much so that you lose what should be the essence of what makes you who you are. We all do it; we worry what people think of what we wear, what products we use, what we say, how we come across...

Of course you need to be sensitive to other people, and have self-awareness, but not to the extent that your happiness relies exclusively on them. Don't let it absorb who you are and take your identity. So don't wear something for someone else's approval, don't do something because you think it's what you should do - do it for you and don't lose yourself.

You can be happy with yourself because of yourself, you don't need other people's approval.

Words That Make a Difference #3


Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a bit of a rut? Like there's so much you've been meaning to do but somehow you never get round to it? Well this weekend change that; whether it's a new sports class, a place you've always meant to visit, a group you always wanted to join, don't miss out for another week. Dip your toe in the water.

It's exhilarating to try something new, it can be so much more than what you expected, and you never know where it may lead. Yet if it doesn't work out so well, you can always make sure it's the first and the last time.

Words That Make A Difference #2

This week I'm all about appreciating what you've got.

I'm so often struck by how those who have a tougher lot in life seem to have the happiest and most positive outlook.  

No one's life runs totally smoothly, but you only get one shot at it, so you may as well appreciate what you have.

Words That Make A Difference #1


Welcome to Words That Make A Difference a new series sharing some of my favourite quotes regarding life. I'm a great one for mantras and uplifting phrases, so I figured maybe sharing them may help a few of you too.


This week I wanted to share this little phrase. For a long time I had this as the background on my phone, and it really does uplift. Pop it on your noticeboard or on a post-it at your desk or stick it on your fridge - a few words really do go a long way.

A change in attitude can make such a difference, even when it's against all odds, and that's why I love this little phrase. Even if you just apply it to one thing this week, go for it and see where it gets you.
