Tues 31/03/15 Congratulate yourself on every little accomplishment!!! Xxx

Now this is a case of do what I say and not what I do (as often as I should!) lol. For real though, I think it's so incredibly important to pat yourself on the back for all you do. Especially stuff you take for granted. In my groups I meet so many people doing so many wonderful things which I could never do but that they don't think is that big a deal. Take nursing for example- I wouldn't have the ability to do something like that- it's such an amazing job which is so care focused, truly magnificent!

I am quite proud of myself for pushing the boat out (pardon the pun!) and doing things which I would not normally do. I like to completely switch off on my holidays, as my regular life is always in constant contact with people, but I have made a conscious effort to connect with people whilst on this holiday (still riding the wave of my 'try new/different things' resolution). And it's been great fun! Learning and sharing and all that good stuff with whoever crosses my path (and if nothing else, it makes for a good blog article!).

I encourage you to take a regular review of how amazing you are. We don't nearly spend enough time appreciating who we are. It can take one little insult to ruin our day, yet a lot of people can compliment us and we quickly forget it.

So look in the mirror (if you can) and send yourself some love- do it now!!!

Happy self appreciating!!!

Lots of love, Nick Xxx
