There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy

Gratitude and appreciation and affirmations are a great way to develop happiness and confidence and self-worth.

Write positive affirmations. Say positive affirmations out loud. When they are repeated over-and-over they develop the power to change your negative inner dialogue to one of self-love. I Am affirmations are a form of self-care. Writing about your journey in a journal gives it more of a boost.
