stop putting yourself down!

"Oh, I'm just a mum", "I just work in an office, nothing special", "I have a rubbish job, I hate it"

I was at a ladies networking event (social not business) last night and I couldn't believe how people were describing themselves.

Us girls have got issues. The more women I meet, the more I see the general lack of self confidence.

Americans are known for being brash, bold and confident to the point of arrogance, but us British girls, we just don't seem to be able to blow our own trumpets - we're always apologising for ourselves and putting ourselves down.

We just hate to sound 'full of ourselves' so we attempt to put ourselves down before we start.

I mentioned what I felt to Lucy at The Busy Girls Guide last night and she promised to put something on the Guide about it tomorrow - as a lifestyle coach, she works with people on their confidence all the time, so I knew she'd have a solution! I'll post the link here later today...

So, Busy Girl, if this sounds like something you'd do, today I want you to join me in a little confidence practice - if you meet someone new today, try telling them what you do without making it sound dull, boring or unimportant - you are important and much more worthy than you make out!

Have a great day, and a lovely weekend and I'll catch you next week...
