Getting off from being a doormat to a Better life

Feel taken for granted most of the time? Read on...

sometimes it is how you act on that leads to you not being taken seriously by others...
are you true to your feelings? how do you treat yourself? with respect? no? do you respect others' decision more than your own?

Read through these steps and see if they can help...
1. Write down your thoughts in a journal daily. That way you become aware of what you are saying to yourself.

2. Then journal the things for which you are truly grateful and what you like about yourself.

3. Look for the reasons you take other people's lives more seriously than your own. Why do you value them more than yourself?

4. Challenge your self beliefs around how much or little you value yourself.

5. Find ways to trusting yourself, your abilities and skills.

6. Look back at all your successes and keep a list visible for when you are feeling down or worthless.

7. Look at the consequences of keeping a low self esteem.

8. Stop comparing.

9. Be honest to yourself: decide exactly how you feel about yourself now and ask whether you want to change that.

10. Value yourself.

11. don't sweat the small stuff, which does not really matters. if you don't think it will matter to you for the next two days or a week later, then it is not a matter of much concern. just let it go and focus on things that are of much importance.

Lead, not Follow

these are Divas...

i like to work alone.
or i like to take the lead.
but when i meet someone who has a greater sense of leadership than I,
i always sit back and observe the way he or she works...

i remembered i read about "DIVA CODE" in a local mag.. and "lead, not follow" is one of it. 1) Be a Diva through and through. Believe that you have a right to want things. (Of course you are) 2) Know what you want and know your aims.
(yes, finally after years of sailing blindly i start to grab and work towards what i want in life.) 3) Be a perfectionist (i am partly a perfectionist) 4) Work very hard. (depends on what i am working on) 5) Maintain positive self image. (try to... =P) 6) Lead, don't follow. (yes, i tend to be in this category xD)

I believe all of us deserves the best we can get, so why not start believing you can?
now start marching down the path you intended to follow, follow your own thoughts and desires.
