I have a query for Dr Jez........

For a couple of years now I occasionally get ( one at a time ) small, red, itchy ( especially in the bath or shower ) spots, which, within a couple of days of appearing, get a watery/blistery type head. These occur on my feet only, not on the sole or tops, but usually in the instep area, or the outer foot under the ankle.

Over the past weekend, I attended a workshop on leadership training. One of the many areas where we receive feedback is on physical presentation. This is my second time through this six month long course, and each course has four workshops, so it was my sixth time at the blocks.
My first weekend, I got a 6 out of 10. Imagine my horror – me with my rag trade background and a complete style know all! They obviously just didn't know what they were on about, I decided. But I did manage to buy a pair of shoes exactly like the programme leader. Just in case it had something to do with that.

We all have those negative voices in our heads, constantly reminding us about the ways in which we don't measure up. This is certainly true in our society about body ...

To all the things that are good about me.... And I shall from this day forward,

No longer try to be everything to everybody. Nor will I be someone I'm not.
