I personally believe a person’s self esteem will determine their likelihood of turning to illegal drugs. Would someone who thought highly about themself turn to drugs, which can not only be harmful, but can be deadly too? I think not! This is yet another reason why parents should do whatever they can to keep their […]
Self Improvement
How can you tell if your child lacks confidence?
Hmmm. This one I ponder because I have two daughters, aged 10 and 1. Whilst it’ll be a while before I have too much to worry about with my younger daughter, I am compelled to ensure my older daughter doesn’t go down the road that I did. So how can a parent tell if their […]
Depression in men
With all that’s going on in my family right now, I thought I’d talk about the subject of depression in men. Why am I talking about this on a site called Self Confidence 101?

As spouses and parents, one of our most vital roles is to help those we love feel good about themselves.” Keith Harrell Speaker and Author I love this quote because helping those that you love to feel good about themselves is the greatest […]
The Law of Attraction and your Health
I read an amazing story today about a young woman who was suffering from an incurable, potentially fatal heart condition. She was devastated when she found out her heart was a ticking time bomb, and was terrified she would die young. That was until she decided to apply the Law of Attraction. She made a […]
Stay focused on the end result
Today being Monday, I really struggled to get out of bed this morning. After a year of getting up whenever I pleased (more like when my daughter woke up!), I have found it really difficult to wake to an alarm clock when it is still dark outside over the last two and a bit weeks. […]
Self esteem and life choices
