Advise needed

[CaramelMacchiatto]

I am determined to improve my life and would like to start working on myself. At the moment I strongly need validation from the others. I am also a people pleaser. I am scared that if I was to be left alone for too long, I’d panic with just me for company.

I realise I need to work improving my self esteem and self love. Unfortunately I can’t afford therapy. There are many books / podcasts etc. available but perhaps someone has gone through a similar journey and can recommend something that really worked? I am hoping to find a book or podcast on the subject, with practical exercises on how to implement those changes. Can anyone help, please?

It might seem counter-intuitive so bear with me on this one. How well do you treat yourself? Do you really practice self care, and really have your own back?

it’s a good place to start, treating g yourself as you would a dear friend, a sibling or child. Look after yourself.

tried and see how you feel. Good luck.

Check the book called Not Nice. Also School Of Life social media

I tend to be quite hard on myself and I’m my own biggest critic however I do do things for myself only, make myself little and not so little pleasures etc. My issue is a different one, I think. I now bought a few books about improving my self-worth. Excited to start 😊
