International Women’s Day 2021
Today is #internationalwomensday2021 where the theme is ‘Choose to Challenge’.
A challenged world is an alert world.
Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day. We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality.
We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world.
From challenge comes change, so let’s all Choose to Challenge.

What’s Your Thinking Like?
We can be our own best friend, but we are more likely at times, to be our own worst enemy with the thoughts we have towards ourselves.
I think the key to this is to try and identify when your thinking is not positive, to yourself, to other people and to situations you may find yourself in.
It’s true that you start to believe what you tell yourself you are.
Tell yourself enough that you are:
- worthless
- useless
- a bad partner
- crap at your job
- a bad friend
- a bad person
- stupid
and guess what? You will end up that way.
Tell yourself that:
- you deserve to be happy
- you are a good person
