Vicky says: “We are all awesome, and it’s actually just taking a moment to reflect back on what we have accomplished [that can] unlock the feeling. Things that make you feel awesome are to be true to who you are, learn from your mistakes, believe in yourself and be kind to yourself and others.”
She said this day reminds her that she is living a great authentic life. “Life can get busy, but it is vital to take a moment and just be grateful that you and the people in your community are doing great things. I like to take a moment to send a WhatsApp message to those who inspire me and tell them why I think they are awesome,” she says.
