Celebrate Your Uniqueness 
Celebrating your uniqueness is about realising that you are a one off. There has never been nor will there ever be another quite like you.
If that is the case, why is so much time spent trying to be like others or continually comparing yourself to others?
This habit of comparing and then feeling less than good enough is commonplace yet it is in conflict with who you truly are. It is time to embrace and celebrate your uniqueness. Claim your space, acknowledge your gift and know that your contribution is every bit as important as the next person. It is the diversity of what each person brings to the table that makes life wondrous.
Here are some really great quotes about being you, your unique self:
“All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realisation everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself.” Ralph Ellison
“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation .” Oscar Wilde
That is such a powerful quote ‘ most people are other people ‘. Take time and stop to think about it. How much of what you think, feel and do is of your own choosing? And how much of it is from copying or trying to be like someone you are not?
When you decide to be you in all your greatness you will no longer be ‘other people’. When you recognise you have a wealth of talents and skills that are yours alone, you will no longer crave someone else’s.
So stop comparing and putting down who you are and start living! The moment you decide to live your life through your eyes the insecurities of never being enough and never having enough will dissipate.
Remember this:
“At bottom, every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvellously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.” Friedrich Nietzsche
Live Blissfully!

A catalyst for change, Yvonne Bignall is a breath of fresh air in the extraordinary way she helps women 50+ to reconnect with life & their innate power through radical self-care, guilt-free!
She supports, encourages, and inspires women to prioritise their health, one bitesize action at a time. Her work is challenging as it navigates through difficult conversations, listening & observing how women’s health issues have been:
❊ Undermined
❊ Under-resourced &
❊ Swept under the carpet
She helps women to recognise & unpack old scripts that still (sadly enough) tell them that their value derives from their level of caregiving of others, their output. The truth is it is the input, the ability to resource self, which provides women with the energy required to realise their true potential.
Along with her team, she explores the thoughts, behaviour & habits, often born out of guilt, gender expectations, and reinforced narratives, with curiosity (not judgment), discarding the unhelpful, whilst reclaiming innate power through the creation of new patterns, restoring a sense of self, outside of societal expectations. In her opinion, this allows women to:
✔ Develop an elevated level of self-awareness
✔ Build / rebuild their confidence & self-belief
✔ Value all of who they are and invest time in who they want to be at their best
A self-care warrior, an encourager & inspirer, Yvonne is today an award-winning Women’s Health Advocate, Published Author, and an International Presenter. She is also a Radio Show Host and a Podcaster.
Yvonne is focused on building a community of women, www.PermissionToThrive.online, who are ready to reclaim their right to self-care, guilt-free, and who prioritise their health without apology, role-modeling behaviour & habits that inform generations to come of their true value.
She also advocates for self-care over burnout in the workplace, delivering practical webinars in the corporate space. In her own words, “It is time for employees to prioritise their wellbeing. How will they deliver their best work without it?”
One of her favourite quotes comes from Eleanor Brown, ‘Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel’
