A few weeks ago, the weirdest thing happened.
I walked into a crowded after-school hangout for young adults and my thirty something year old self suddenly felt as awkward and gawky as I was at thirteen. Where was my self-confidence? What happened to those twenty years of work on building my self-worth to replace those few years of embarrassment and shame?
All I could think of was how fast I wanted to get out of there.
Have you ever felt like that before? Have you ever wanted to change your perspective or redo a moment so you can feel better about the life you are living?
Thankfully, after I left, I picked up the pieces of my fragile self and again walked in the shoes of a happy and confident adult. But I wish I had read one of these posts sooner.
If you have had a shot to your self-esteem lately, feel pessimistic, discouraged or just unhappy about your situation or life right now, there is a post in here for you. Hope you enjoy it and the rest of our top posts this week.

My year old daughter throws up such diverse mood swings at times that it is difficult to perceive if she is happy, angry or simply bored
