#BestYouProject

All the tools you need to build confidence, resilience and a positive mindset

Author: Julie B

Hi everyone, I’m Julie the latest contributor to the Best You Project. I’ve joined this team because it embodies the real-life, run-of-the mill everyday struggles that we can all relate to in some way and how with some support we are all capable of change. It is said that life begins at a certain age however I found that it was an opportunity to reflect and subsequently take charge of what was yet to come, after all I am who I am because of these earlier years and however hard you try they can’t be deleted. So, I turned a page, started a new chapter and here I am delighted to be joining the Best You Project and getting the opportunity to share with others how small changes can lead to a more fulfilling life. How did I become much happier, more content and ultimately embrace the life I now live? The biggest realisation was that there were many things in life I couldn’t control and I had to accept that in the end I could only be responsible for my own thoughts and actions. It was at this point, almost two years ago that I made the decision to be more selfish! Having worn myself out trying to please everyone and do what I thought was expected of me in every area of my life I stumbled across a quote online, where I often looked for the answers: “You can’t pour from an empty cup, take care of yourself first”. I was very guilty of giving advice and doing none of it myself – a clear nod to “do as I say and not as I do” philosophy. Through time I began to learn how to reflect, react and respond to even the smallest of daily events in a more positive way, even the most mundane of daily routines, and as a result I started making a significant difference to my life. Slowly but surely I identified one aspect of my life at a time, sought some inspirational reading and committed to making the small changes. It did not take long to experience the positive effects of my actions. As my confidence grew I began to talk to people and found out that I was not alone in this journey and this provided me with further inspiration to keep going. Through time my friends and family began to notice how I have changed, many asking how I did it, others remarking that they wish they could be more like me. As I began to believe I was finally making progress I went from strength to strength. I never expected to find myself in this privileged position where my experiences may in turn inspire others simply by sharing my little lightbulb moments as I continue to write my own story, plot twists and all.

Bumps in the Road

We strive daily to take positive steps in the quest for the best version of ourself however when the bump in the road strikes there is a little voice that would happily entice you on the slippery slope. ‘Why does this always happen to me?’, ‘Can anything else go wrong?’ and ‘Whatever next?’ and then… Read More Bumps in the Road

Success Depends on Effort

“Your level of success is only determined by your level of effort” No matter what your goal is you will only start to make progress when you put the effort in.

In a world full of negativity be the reason that someone realises there are still good people out there as well as the bad!
Nobody in the world is liked by everyone, just Google your favourite famous person along with the word hate and you'll see even they have a whole load of haters ... so why do you expect everyone you meet to like you?
Even when you don't feel confident you can at least choose to ACT confident. There's a huge chance that nobody will even notice the difference!
Once today is over it's another day lost to the past, you're not getting this one or any of the others back so don't waste it focusing on any bad stuff.
And we're back!! After a long hiatus focusing on work I'm back with the odd friendly post or short musing.
Some things are just too hard to say!😔🤪😂
If you're worrying about something that might go wrong, you should also consider getting excited that it might actually go right.
Anybody can be nice to your face, it's the ones that also talk nicely about you behind your back that you need to appreciate.
Next time someone takes their bad mood out on you instead of reacting with anger or sadness, try responding with empathy.
Fear can stop us doing so many things but the truth is the only way to get over that hurdle is to finally gamble on your strengths.
