Self-esteem is the foundation of how we see ourselves – and how we navigate life’s ups and downs. When it’s strong, we’re more likely to take healthy risks, set boundaries, and bounce back from setbacks.

Here are 5 practical ways to build self-esteem:

Challenge Negative Self-Talk
Notice your inner critic and replace harsh thoughts with kinder, more realistic ones. You don’t have to be perfect to be worthy.

Set Achievable Goals
Break big goals into small steps. Every win – no matter how small – reinforces your sense of capability.

Practice Self-Compassion
Treat yourself with the same kindness you’d offer a friend. Self-compassion helps you grow through mistakes instead of getting stuck in them.

Surround Yourself with Support
Spend time with people who uplift you. Positive relationships remind you of your value and help you feel connected.

Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection
Focus on how far you’ve come, not just where you want to be. Progress builds confidence and fuels motivation.

Building self-esteem is a journey – and you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to explore your strengths and overcome what’s holding you back, we’re here to help. Call (03) 6431 8411 or visit ​https://mypsychology.org.au/​ to book an appointment.

Making friends or forming connections takes time and effort, but it often starts with a small moment. An awkward hello, a chance encounter, an act of kindness, a compliment, a shared experience or interest or even a funny story – these small but meaningful interactions matter. They spark conversation and help us feel seen and valued.

This Loneliness Awareness Week follow the website below as they are sharing real moments that help young people connect and inviting all Australians to make moments matter at home, work, school, online and in the community.

Last month, we explored how psychology supports everyday wellbeing and deeper healing:

Therapy and You
We looked at how therapy and psychological assessment can guide personal growth, helping you understand yourself better and make empowered choices.

Resilience in Everyday Life
Resilience isn’t just for tough times – it’s a skill we build daily. We shared practical ways to strengthen your emotional flexibility and bounce back from life’s challenges.

Birth Trauma Awareness Week
We shared awareness about the psychological impact of birth trauma, shining a light on the importance of compassionate care and support for parents navigating recovery.

Practical Self-Care
Self-care isn’t just bubble baths – it’s about setting boundaries, asking for help, and tuning into what your mind and body need.

The Power of Connection
Social support is one of the strongest predictors of mental health. We explored how meaningful relationships can buffer stress and boost wellbeing.

International Day of Friendship
We celebrated the value of friendship – reminding us that even small moments of connection can make a big difference.

If you or someone you know could use support, we’re here to help. Call us on (03) 6431 8411 or visit ​https://mypsychology.org.au/​ to learn more.

Did you know that strong social support can be just as important for your mental health as sleep, nutrition, and exercise?

Whether it’s a friend who listens, a family member who checks in, or a community that makes you feel seen – connection helps us feel safe, supported, and understood. It can reduce stress, boost resilience, and even improve recovery from mental health challenges.

You don’t have to go it alone. At My Psychology Tasmania, we’re here to help you understand, build the tools to connect, skills to communicate, and thrive.

Practising self-care is one of the most powerful ways to support your mental health and overall wellbeing – especially when you're navigating challenges like injury, rehabilitation, or just the ups and downs of daily life.

Here are a few simple, evidence-based self-care ideas you can try today:

Physical Self-Care
Move your body in a way that feels good – whether that’s a walk, gentle stretching, or rehab exercises.
Rest when needed. Recovery is just as important as activity.
Eat nourishing food and stay hydrated.

Emotional Self-Care
Name your feelings. Journaling or talking to someone can help you process emotions.
Set boundaries to protect your energy and time.
Celebrate small wins – progress is progress, no matter how small.

Mental Self-Care
Practice mindfulness or breathing exercises to stay grounded.
Limit screen time and take breaks from social media.
Engage in something creative or mentally stimulating – like reading, puzzles, or art.

Everyone is different. If you're finding it hard to manage on your own, you're not alone. Our team at My Psychology Tasmania is here to support you with practical, compassionate care.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲

Imagine this: You’ve had a tough day. Your plans fell through, work was overwhelming, and a friend cancelled last-minute. It’s easy to feel defeated – but this is where emotional resilience steps in.

Resilience isn’t about ignoring stress or “toughing it out.” It’s about bouncing back, adapting, and finding strength in the face of everyday challenges.

Here are 3 simple ways to build emotional resilience:
Pause and breathe – Ground yourself with a few deep breaths. It helps reset your nervous system.
Reframe the situation – Instead of “I failed,” try “I learned something valuable.”
Connect with support – Talking to someone you trust can lighten the emotional load.

Resilience is a skill – and like any skill, it can be learned and strengthened over time.

Want to explore resilience with a psychologist? We’re here to help.
