I love this reminder from lovetheloa which I found on Instagram.
Don’t be afraid to Create Space for yourself today!

Quote No.1 from Encourage Yourself Encourage Others by Anne Devine.
Today we have reached the end of our journey! And what an enjoyable journey it has been for me. We counted our way down through Anne Devine’s Encourage Yourself Encourage Others and down through the worldwide lockdown.
I set out to share some of Anne’s insightful and encouraging posts and in doing so I found myself less focused on Covid19 and more focused on encouraging others.
Without intention or realising it these posts gave me a sense of purpose during this strange new experience of retreating into our homes to curb the spread of Covid19 and became for me, a source of encouragement, thanks to your lovely company and enjoyable conversations!
So, I hope you will take something away from these posts and “Begin each day believing it will be a good day” as you continue to Encourage Yourself Encourage Others.

Today I wish to take some time to promote my novel, Vanished. Now, I must be honest with you, I never thought I’d write a story about human trafficking How it all began and why: My father was a building contractor and had been to the impoverished nation of Haiti a number of times. […]

Quote No.4 from Encourage Yourself Encourage Others by Anne Devine.
I’d be lying if I said that today’s quote didn’t apply to me.
As a matter of fact Anne must have placed this quote right here especially for me to find it today!
It has been a challenging few days but I am in a good place thanks to a number of different things, namely,
The support of my wonderful family, good friends, time, acknowledging and accepting my emotions, owning my voice, speaking my truth, non-judgemental love allowing me accept that I can’t control how other people react but I can control how I react and accepting that my private logic is my perspective and that others are entitled to their private logic or their perspective too.
Knowing that “Each challenge helps you to grow” is a great insight and I am blessed being able to understand that without challenges we would never flourish or reach our potential. “Today is a good day. I Choose to make it so.”
Thank you Anne for this wonderful tool kit brimming with love, forgiveness, self-care reminders and boundless encouragement!

Quote No.6 from Encourage Yourself Encourage Others by Anne Devine.
If you struggle with low confidence, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, inferiority feelings or imposter syndrome which has been described as a feeling of being fake or believing you only achieved success because you were in the right place at the right time. You may also believe you are not as competent as other work colleagues, other mothers, other bloggers, or you may struggle to accept praise or to bask in the glory of your achievements. If any of these sound familiar to you then affirmations can help you to deal with and manage these challenges.
Talking about these challenges can help normalise them and help us realise that it’s ok to be human and to admit our struggles.
I’ve doubted my ability as an adult educator and I was able to overcome these doubts by reminding myself that “I am a competent and capable adult educator.”
Encouragement is a powerful tool! Encourage Yourself Encougage Others is a powerful tool kit.
What do you struggle with?
What affirmation do you use or might you use from now on?

Quote No.9 from Encourage Yourself Encourage Others by Anne Devine.
I often find it helpful to withhold any action in the heat of the moment. Doing nothing creates space for reflection.
What have you been unsure about lately? What “positive action” did you take or was “doing nothing” a “positive action” for you?

Quote No.11 from Encourage Yourself Encourage Others by Anne Devine.
This quote is particularly relevant now more than ever. Don’t be afraid to “Honour and remember those you love in your way.”
We are a country with a long-standing tradition of showing our respects in remembering our deceased relatives, neighbours and friends. However, Covid19 restrictions have caused funeral traditions and services here in Ireland to change.
Now only a limited number of family members can attend a funeral wake and mass now. That could limit a funeral size to ten or twenty family members only.
Relations, friends and neighbours have started forming a socially distanced line along the road side leading to the church or graveyard instead. These changes are difficult for all concerned. Respect how others cope with these changes. Allow other to honour and remember those they love in their way.
