Tonight my Step Dad said to me ‘your only problem is is that you lack in confidence!’ I titled this accepting criticism, but at the same time he wasn’t actually criticising to be mean just telling me something if that makes sense.

Obviously I already know I lack in confidence, but to hear someone else say it out loud for some reason really bothers me, but I will also try and take it on board and work on myself.

Accepting criticism and accepting compliments are both difficult, to me anyway, but all we can do is learn from them and try and improve on them.

I for one know I haven’t been myself lately, for me is a mixture of missing my Nan, therapy last year, then the world turning upside down, not seeing anyone but my Mum for three months and I still haven’t seen some of my mates for weeks and weeks.

I have found this year extremely overwhelming and it has definitely made my anxiety worse but all we can do is find ways to adapt and look after ourselves daily.

I have had years where my confidence has been in a good place like when working abroad, I know I’ll get those times back again.

Better days are coming!
