“Unless we have a great many laughs, and feel alive inside by the things we do, we really have to question what we are doing, and why 
No one stops you from doing stuff except yourself…”
- Confidence comes from being fully content in yourself, knowing that you are good enough, inside and out. Start to be really aware about how you feel in different situations and when you don’t feel so good, step back and observe what you think has triggered the limiting behaviour - then write down how you would like to react and feel, should the trigger happen again. Then begin to change your behaviour and move forwards believing you are good enough.

- When your life is in balance you naturally will feel more content, and calm in yourself. Write down a list including the following: work, health & fitness, fun & happiness, love and romance, friends & family, personal development, charity & environment and finance. Then score them out of 10 - 10 being truly content and 1 being completely unhappy with the situation. Then chose three areas which you would like to improve during the first 6 months of the year and write down how you are going to do this and how it will make you feel once you have done it. Then tell two people what you are going to do, so they can keep you accoutable and make sure it happens! Review the whole process in June 2010!
- Sit down with your partner or best friend with a big piece of coloured paper each and write down your top ten positive qualities - then swap and write down your partner/friend’s top ten qualities and then share stories with each other - this will really help boost your confidence and make you realise that you have some great qualities that you may not even know about!
- Give yourself time by yourself - in our modern world - especially as a mother or busy working women we often loose time for ourselves, and therefore loose our own identity - even if its just a 15min walk or cup of tea in a peaceful cafe - give yourself time to touch base with yourself. The only thing we can control is our own emotions so make sure you always remain aware of how you are, and who you are.
- Go to the shops and buy a beautiful notebook that reflects all your positive qualities - then each night write down two or three things that have happened that made you feel good - however small, this will help you have a good, restful sleep in a peaceful way. If you are stressed from your day then write it all down and how you can resolve this n the morning - this will allow you to have a good sleep!
- Spend time with people who allow you to be yourself, feel confident and relaxed with. Plan at least one thing a week with these people to allow your confidence and internal self worth to grow.
- Do email us your goals, fitness questions and charity challenges and we will answer your queries and help make them your reality in 2010…[email protected]
