3 ways to stop procrastinating

Hi, Paul here, I hope you are having a productive day. How are you getting on? Are you having a productive week and do you feel as if you are achieving all that you want to?

Reasons for Negative Self-Worth

There are many reasons for this, but most start at a young age because we are expected to behave in a certain manner and will usually be punished in some way if we fail to meet the expectations of others. This can be as simple as being put in the naughty corner because you have done something “bad,” sent to bed without supper, of deprived of something you were really looking forward to, to constant criticism and being made to feel like nothing you do is ever good enough and you will never amount to anything.Continue reading
