It doesn’t take a lot to begin questioning ourselves, our abilities and our place in society. A remark from a parent, the feeling of being different or maybe seeing on social media how well a friend is doing. Sometimes we’re in a strong place where we can just shrugged it off. Other times it hurts and may begin us on our downward spiral of self-doubt.
​
Our self image is built on how we were treated when we were young and as we grew up. This is a  vulnerable time for us when any remark can be stored to come back to consciously or unconsciously hit us.

How we communicate has changed so much in the past 20 years. At the end of the 1990’s we still talked face-to-face and we called each other on the phone. We even wrote long letters.

If we were going to break up with someone then we more or less had to tell them in person that the relationship wasn’t going anywhere. And by doing so we experienced the fallout and emotional reactions our actions caused. A few took the easier way out and wrote a ‘Dear John’ letter and finished the relationship. Some tried to do so over the phone.

So are you thinking of changing? Is there something you want to change? Then start now. Don’t wait.
​
Maybe you’ve decided your relationship with your partner has ended and you want to move on? Or perhaps you want to stop watching porn? Or is your weight or maybe lack of an exercise routine causing you concern? The good news is that there are hundreds of thousands like you across the country. The not-so-good news is that it takes work and effort to change. But don’t let be your reason not to do so.
