February Girlfriend Mag is OUT NOW!

Hi Girlfriends,

We surveyed you guys recently about happiness and self-esteem, and here’s what you told us...

Over 90 per cent of you expressed concern or dissatisfaction with one part of your body. Fifty-five per cent of these concerns related to your body or figure, and 30 per cent of you said that this affects your self-esteem and stresses you out. Meanwhile, over 50 per cent of you don’t want to discuss your problems because you don’t think others will understand.

However, over 80 per cent of you think it’s important to laugh at yourself from time to time and that having a positive attitude and Self Respect makes you a happier person. You also named Delta Goodrem and our cover girl Hayden Panettiere as your favourite positive, fun-loving celebrities.

This made us really think about how we can help each other cope with the tough times in life and start focusing on what makes us happy.

As for me, this year I pledge to be positive in everything I do, to laugh more often, to be fearless, more kind to myself, appreciate my friends and family, and to enjoy each day like it’s my last.

I also pledge to pull out the Happiness Manifesto (DOWNLOAD IT HERE), stick it on my wall and try to tick at least one of those boxes every single day.

To check out all the GF team’s pledges and to make your own positivity pledge, HEAD HERE or you can make your pledge by sms-ing 19 700 612.

Happy New Year!
