When I first started blogging one of the largest obstacles for me to overcome was the idea that I was actually blogging. I had a huge self-esteem issue and was so worried what other people would think about me. I know were not all the same but this was major issue for me to overcome. I wasn’t telling anyone I blogged in real life and sort of kept it to myself. I didn’t realize at the time but I had a fear of blogging and social rejection.

Overcoming this obstacle was huge for me but honestly I did it within the first 6 months of blogging. I wish I would had known Melodie Kantner as I could have used all the positive and motivational help I could get.

Melodie has an amazing 30 Day Self-Esteem Challenge and I strongly recommend anyone that is experiencing what I did or has any lack of confidence to visit her blog and follow her 30 day program. (more…)
