I’ve talked a lot lately about my own personal development, especially with how far I’ve come, but we all have bad days. Sometimes we need that little bit of help and a bit of advice. It can come from anyone, friends, family, partners and occasionally people online.
When people have given me advice, sometimes it takes me a while to think about it and implement it. But it really does give me the motivation sometimes, to be exactly where I need to be. Instead today’s post is about the advice I would give myself. The advice that on bad days I really truly need.
01. Celebrate your victories and what you’ve achieved.
02. Don’t feel ashamed of yourself.
03. Remind yourself to follow your dreams.
04. It’s okay to take a break.
05. Stepping out of your comfort zone can be scary, but you can do this.
06. Stop trying to please everyone in your life, it isn’t possible.
07. Workouts help your mental health so much.
08. Let go of unattainable standards, they will only weigh you down.
09. Take care of yourself first.
10. Feel all those emotions, it is good for you.
11. Appreciate your body more and everything it does for you.
12. Don’t put things off, do it today, if you can. If you’re having a rough day and it is impossible, make a plan.
13. Make time for self care, you need to take care of yourself.
14. You can accomplish anything you put your mind to.
15. Let go of time limits and milestones that you need to achieve by a certain age.
16. Remember your worth, do not sell yourself short.
17. Voice your opinions, share your voice with the world, it matters.
18. Make time for fun, we all need some chill out time, and to recharge.
19. Don’t put off doctors appointments, your health matters.
20. You are strong and brave, you’ve got this.
21. Practice mindfulness daily.
22. Make memories all of the time, special moments make the world go round.
23. Don’t let negativity invade your happiness – you’re worth more than that.
24. Practice daily gratitude, especially on bad days.
25. Talk to someone, don’t be afraid to be vulnerable.
26. Find your passion in life, it makes the world of difference.
27. Remove toxic friendships from your life.
28. Make a budget for the month, know what you’re spending your hard earned money on.
29. Get out, spending time in the great outdoors can do wonders for you.
30. Try new foods, you never know what you might enjoy.
31. Embrace change, changes in your life can open new doors.
32. Learn to listen to others more rather than react in the moment.
33. Be yourself, because you are always going to be enough for this world.
34. Get a good night’s sleep, switch off the phone, rest and rejuvenate.
35. Follow your skincare routine & take care of your skin.
36. Eat your fruit and veg, and nourish your body.
37. Treat yourself, you deserve it.
38. You don’t always get what you want, and that is okay. Keep trying.
39. Everything happens in good time, be patient, it will be worth it.
40. If you’re feeling anxious, take a few deep breath and calm your mind.
What advice would you give yourself?

Love this. I read and reread this post about 15 times to try and drill in some of these things for myself. I love the supposedly simple ones like eat your fruit and veg. It’s silly but it’s good to remind myself that I need to treat my mind and body well

38 is a really good one and one I really agree with! Theres so many pieces of advice on this post I needed to read x
I need to remind myself of this more often, especially to just stop and take a break. I find it so hard to not just keep going/working all the time.

Practising gratitude is such an important daily practice! Thank you for sharing x
These definitely aren’t just pieces of advice to give yourself, but pieces of advice we should all be listening to. I’m really glad I read this because it held such great reminders for me!
Love this, especially the one about letting go of milestones, I hate the pressure that comes with having certain milestones as you age! Also love the one about it being ok to not get everything that you want, I need to remind myself that sometimes things don’t work out and it’s ok!
A lovely collection of advice we can all benefit from — I’m glad I read this because it reminded me of a number of things I’ve let slip over the past couple of months. Thanks for sharing!
Oh I adore this! Number 11 really resonates with me at the moment – something I forget to do a lot xx
Thanks for sharing, these are all good tips, I do need to treat myself after this week, as it has been stressful already 🙂
Love all of these Amie! 33 Really resonates with me! I didn’t feel good enough being myself for such a long time & it held me back so much. Now I’m the opposite and it feels so liberating.
