Mental health, personal growth, and self-improvement have always been my passions. Every day, I dedicate time to bettering myself and reaching my goals through learning—whether it's diving into TED Talks, listening to motivational speakers like Mel Robbins, or exploring self-care audiobooks. My journey isn’t just about me; it’s about sharing actionable insights with my audience in a way that’s relatable and easy to understand.

That’s why I created my TikTok series: 30 Days of Building a Stronger Sense of Self. This series is about offering simple, powerful lessons that help my viewers grow, discover themselves, and gain confidence. You can click the image to watch the video! Whether they’re looking to stop self-sabotaging or to master their emotions, I want to provide something they can save, share, and apply to their lives. You can find me on TikTok @nicolenorthh!

Here’s a breakdown of the first 10 days of the series:

Day 1: Why You Should Never Break No Contact

Breaking no contact after a relationship can be tempting, but I dive into why maintaining it is essential for personal healing. I talk about the emotional consequences of breaking no contact and how staying firm builds resilience and self-respect.

Day 2: The Power of Being You

This day was inspired by a TED Talk that completely shifted my perspective on authenticity. I explore why embracing your true self is not only freeing but essential to building meaningful connections. Authenticity isn’t just about being yourself—it’s about being confident in what makes you unique.

Day 3: How to Become More Charismatic

Charisma is not just a natural trait—it’s a skill you can develop! I share tips from a body language expert on how to enhance your presence and build rapport with others. Simple tweaks, like making eye contact and smiling with intention, can transform how you connect with people.

Day 4: How to Stop Getting Embarrassed

Did you know that embarrassment is a choice? On this day, I break down why we feel embarrassed and how shifting your perspective can eliminate this feeling. I share practical tips on owning your mistakes and reframing situations to see them as moments of growth.

Day 5: How Your Ego is Stopping You From Reaching Your Goals

Your ego might be the biggest barrier to achieving your dreams. I share insights from a TED Talk by a coach who explains how our egos often create unnecessary anxiety and self-doubt. Learning to put your ego aside can open the door to humility and faster progress.

Day 6: How to Master Your Emotions

Emotions are fleeting, but we often let them spiral into something much bigger. I discuss how understanding the temporary nature of emotions can help you avoid overreacting or letting feelings cloud your judgment. Emotional mastery is key to staying balanced and focused.

Day 7: How to Stop Self-Sabotaging

Self-sabotage often stems from childhood experiences, and a hypnotherapist I came across offers incredible insight on this topic. I share tips on identifying these patterns and reframing your mindset to break free from habits that hold you back.

Day 8: How to Choose the Right Person for You

We often fall for an idealized version of someone rather than who they truly are. This day focuses on observing behaviors and actions instead of clinging to fantasies. I discuss why emotional compatibility and shared values are more important than surface-level attraction.

Day 9: Six Things That Do Not Define Your Worth

Too often, we let external factors—like our job titles, appearance, or income—dictate our self-worth. I explore six things that don’t define you and shift the focus to qualities like kindness, values, and how you treat others. True self-worth comes from within.

Day 10: The One Thing You Can Start Doing to Solve Most of Your Problems

Today’s TikTok is about the power of working on yourself. The most important things in life are the ones no one can take away—your growth, resilience, and self-worth. Focus on building these, and you’ll always have a strong foundation to rely on. (This is actually day 11 but just ignore that because I liked this one better haha)

Closing Thoughts

The first 10 days of this series have been incredibly fulfilling, and I’m excited to continue sharing tools and lessons to help you build a stronger sense of self. Whether you’re looking for ways to be more authentic, manage emotions, or overcome self-sabotage, I hope you find these tips helpful and inspiring.
