Do you ever have those days when you feel low and down? Your self-esteem’s taken a battering – perhaps your boss has had a go at you?

It can be a challenge to pull yourself up again, and this is where some simple ‘confidence tricks’ can come in handy. One of my favourites is this one……

Keep a note book or cuttings album of achievements. Put copies of ‘well done’ messages in it, cards, notes etc. Paste in some favourite inspirational quotes or pictures ….. this book then acts as your ‘blue day’ book – on days when you’re feeling low, or your self-esteem’s been a bit battered, take it out and check back on all the things you done well.

If you’re feeling low then the chances are you’re finding it difficult to focus on the resources, strengths and talents you DO HAVE – having this book to hand helps to remind you.
