The Importance of Self-Belief

Having your heartbroken can massively knock your confidence, and can make you doubt yourself. When this has happened to me I have felt rejected, unloved, worthless, insignificant and have wondered why I am not good enough. 
Doubting myself  is something I am very good at.
Whenever something negative is said about me, I cling on to it. It wouldn't be so bad if I could cling on to the positives too, but they seem to go in one ear and out the other!
I wish had more belief in myself to be able to ignore some negative comments and say to myself, 'You might think this about me, but I know that that's not the case, so I am not going to let your opinion bother me'. Unfortunately when you have low self-esteem that is pretty hard to do. I care so much about what people think about me. 


I have let peoples' comments hurt me, and I have let people let me hurt myself. Most of the scars on my body I associate with a memory, an event, or with a negative comment that somebody once made to me that I clung on to.
I have allowed peoples' opinions of me get me down to the point that I have felt the need to cut myself. 
I really want that to change.


It is so important to belief in yourself.
I am in the process of learning how to do that...
