Boost your self-esteem...It’s that time of the year. Shops will bombard you with chocolates, flowers and soft cuddly toys to surprise your significant other.
Few, however, realise that loving yourself is equally important to loving others. How many people do not love themselves and suffer from low self-esteem? Take time this year to boost your self-love barometer if it is running low.
Here are five quick tips for building healthy self-esteem:1. Do not compare yourself to others. This is one of the biggest reasons people suffer from low self-esteem. “She’s prettier than I am”. “He sings better than I do”. “They have more money than we do”. Comparisons like these are bound to make one feel inadequate.
2. Acknowledge your strengths.Accept yourself just as you are. You have your own unique talents and attributes. List your accomplishments and soon you’ll realise just how many things you’re good at.
3. Learn to accept compliments.It is surprising how many people find it difficult to accept a compliment. Resist the urge to fob off a compliment by downplaying yourself. Just smile and say thank you and appreciate that someone appreciates something great about you!
4. Positive thinking.Low self-esteem is fed by negative self-talk. “I’m not good
enough”. “I’m too fat”. “Why would anyone love me?” Like the kiddies worm song, “Nobody loves me. Everybody hates me. I’m gonna eat some worms!” Stop eating those worms!
5. Help othersNothing stops self-pity more than helping others. Teach someone something you are good at, or pay them a simple compliment. The saying ‘there is always someone worse off’ is true. Helping those less fortunate will give you a change in perspective and make you realise that you really have so much to be thankful for.
So as we focus on love this month, why stop with yourself or your loved one? As mentioned in point 5 above, spread the love to your community. Do you know of a neighbour who is struggling? Drop off a parcel with food or essential household items. Volunteer or donate something to a charity or children’s home in your area. ReCONNECT is all about making connections, networking and fostering a community spirit.
February is the month of love and love takes many forms. Love yourself, love your partner, love your children, love your neighbour, love your community.

Place cream and chocolate in a saucepan and melt over low heat. Mix to a smooth paste and add brandy. Mix well and place in fridge to set. With a piping bag, pipe some balls onto greaseproof paper, about 20g each. With a little icing sugar on the palm of your hand, roll these balls into proper rounds. Melt the cooking chocolate in the microwave on a low setting and dip the balls in the chocolate. Then roll the balls in coconut, icing sugar or chocolate vermicelli.

LEADING BUSINESS WITH NO NEED TO "COMPETE"
Why is that so many of us in our businesses are totally stressed out about the competition or being better than the next in the industry that we are in? I think it's because we allow others to define our success by the standards that they set. Yes , we need to be aware of the trends, the other
players in the industry but surely we cannot afford to spend our resources on watching them and then try to "beat" them. We'll end up in a world of watching others while they are watching us, watching them...... I say that competition is for those who desire to win "THEE" race and not THEIR OWN race. After all we all should have different goals. So how then? You may ask, do I reach my goals in such a competitive world without competing?I suggest that firstly we understand that in all industries where we choose to play, we are there to complete and not compete...." I have what you need and I need what you have" If that then is our understanding and approach, one needs to concentrate on "that which I have, that they need" We call those our strengths or sometimes our niche...... If we don't know what it is yet, then I suggest that we very soon: (1). Find our strength / gift, (2) Get better at doing what we do best, (3) Get going.....do it and do it afraid if you have to and (4). Start giving of your gift or strengths.....Share your "trade secrets" like I'm sharing now.......It will really encourage and make others aware that we are not here to compete but to complete as we "Lead our businesses successfully without the need to compete".Denzel Pedro Smit, Certified Leadership and personal development coach, trainer and speaker.
