I can't quite believe that I have had this blog for just over year. I did a post last year similar to this which is linked here. This is what I learnt from 2018 (well some of what I learnt - I learnt more than just 5 things, I promise 😉😂).
We all have insecurities, including the people we don't think do. Even people who appear arrogant are probably concealing their insecurity behind the lack of acceptance of any type of criticism. Everyone has areas that they feel less confident about. Don't stress and feel alone when you doubt yourself at times or sometimes feel more insecure - I actually think that a little bit of self-doubt is helpful. It keeps you growing and learning. But, if not kept in check, it can stop us from living our life to the fullest and enjoying activities we would without lots of insecurities running our minds. I hope that if you happen to stumble upon this post when you are having one of those days, this helps and makes you feel better.
I have always been a person that keeps a diary- I go on and off it, but in the end, I always go back to it. Recently, after a while of not keeping one, I have gone back to it. A little bit of a different post, but here is how keeping a diary has helped and continues to help me.
It is true that appearance isn't what is important and that it is inner beauty that counts. That being said, we cannot deny that as a society we do focus on appearance and we all care about how we look to an extent. Taking time to look put together can help you feel put together - how you look can impact how you feel.
Dear reader,
Most of us want direction. Sometimes we want to have everything worked out, but we can't because life is unpredictable.
Social media. Incredible in so many different ways. It's a way of spreading love, positivity, connecting with people, awareness, helping out others and keeping in touch with people. But, sometimes it does the opposite - it can be negative, draining, can make you miserable and is something time consuming that leaves you feeling empty.
I always really enjoy reading people's end of year posts and what they have learnt from that year. 2017 has been a pretty good year overall for me. But the end has not been quite the way I would have liked and I'm ready for a new beginning. New year- a new start and a fresh slate. Here are things to take away from 2017... This is what I learnt.
Confidence and who you are- the answer so many people look for. Maybe it would be easier if we just start by accepting the fact that no one has exactly pinpointed who they are and we are consistently growing and learning new things about ourselves. Don't be harsh on yourself because you don't have everything figured out. Life is unpredictable and the truth is no one does...
