I've been reading "How to Make Yourself Miserable, a Vital Training Manual" and I am pleased to report I do hardly anything in that book.

As a positive self affirming confidence boosting exercise I'm going to tick all the things listed I don't do. Which is like 95%. πŸ™‚ I can work on the others.

What a great title for a book. I reckon I don’t need to read it though, I’ve probably actioned the full list at various point in my life!

Edit: Also congrats on being awesome at self care!

the number one thing I have to do is not listen to people who criticise

Thanks. I really am a positive happy person who has healthy self confidence, I just spend too much time with negative nellies and doom scroll . πŸ™‚
